Let's start by introducing my mom. I've written a considerable amount about my dad since he passed away. He's become an ever present force in a way he wasn't when he was alive. My mom, though, she's been around since day one, and in my advancing years... ( a joke, sorta ) I find myself… Continue reading Age 25: More Like Mom

Storm Spotlight
Tomorrow is September and 49 weeks ago Storm joined our little family. He was the start of something wonderful and representative of so much more than any of us realized. He's definitely not just an ordinary cat. When we first decided to get a cat, I'd been watching the local shelter postings for weeks. I… Continue reading Storm Spotlight
An Almost Millennial
Fanny packs, bike shorts, scrunchies, and butterfly clips... Take 2. But I’m not even 30. Thoughts from an almost millennial.
Social Distancing: are we still doing it?
In the beginning... March 14th, it felt like any contact at all was the end. I stayed home, only went for walks when nobody was around. We cooked all our own food and only went into the world when we had to. I washed everything frequently. It was like that for 4 weeks or so.… Continue reading Social Distancing: are we still doing it?

What will this blog look like?
It’s been about two weeks... I’ve written about racism, social justice, grief, birthdays, and other life components. I know I’ve mentioned some of the projects I have going and some of my other interests. I’ve been thinking about what I want to write about from here on out... I know I’ve already mentioned what I… Continue reading What will this blog look like?
Activism Actions: From one White Person to Another… the beginning.
(I journaled everyday for a little over a week as I truly worked to confront my own racism and to educate myself on what anti-racist work looks like.... this is the prologue of sorts that I wrote. I will post the rest of my entries, day by day after this.) Hello White Friends (and any… Continue reading Activism Actions: From one White Person to Another… the beginning.
This is 25: a weird overview of my life and thoughts on being a year older.
Yesterday, I turned 25, a quarter of a century... I’ve likely lived more than a quarter of my life, probably more like one third. It’s flown by I think. Overall I don’t remember most of 0-10, I mean there are a few shining moments in there, and some not so shiny ones... but mostly, there’s… Continue reading This is 25: a weird overview of my life and thoughts on being a year older.
The Little Things, like Ping-Pong
It sounds cliche, because it is. That said, the strange times we live in have made it all that much more obvious how true some of the cliche colloquialisms are. After spending most of the last 3 months alone in my apartment with my cat and occasionally my boyfriend (he works a lot), coming back… Continue reading The Little Things, like Ping-Pong
When do I ACTUALLY Become an Adult
A year ago, when my dad passed, I suddenly felt aged. In a matter of moments, my world turned. There’s something truly sobering when you realize that suddenly you have one less parent to call when shit hits the fan. I found myself bombarded with decisions, big ones. Things I felt utterly unqualified to be… Continue reading When do I ACTUALLY Become an Adult
