My best friend and I are pretty similar... I'm a bit more outgoing, she's a bit smarter. We have different strengths, but both have a good work ethic, a desire to learn, and more. I was listening to a TED talk called "The Power of a Teacher" and it got me thinking about the teachers… Continue reading The Power of an Educator

Seattle Jan 1-3 2022, Day 2
Day 2: Nick got up around 7:00 to get a little work done. I slept in until 7:45. It was great. Admittedly, during this two week break my schedule has been wildly unorthodox and unhealthy. This trip so far has actually been a great reset. We were out the door by 8:45, on our way… Continue reading Seattle Jan 1-3 2022, Day 2

525,600.
It’s been a year. 525,600 minutes. 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 4 seasons... One incredible research project, two messed up ankles, three jobs. There’s a million ways I could measure the last year. Although almost none of them fall into the categories RENT prescribed. In daylights: all of them, although I didn’t get out… Continue reading 525,600.
Smells, Sights, and Sounds – My Grief
From the smell of his old hat wafting around me when the air stirs just right to the beep beep beep of my new alarm clock that sounds strangely like his. From the cold air on my face, tilted up to the sky, like nights out snowshoeing under a blanket of stars. To the squish… Continue reading Smells, Sights, and Sounds – My Grief
Moving -my grief
It’s been so strange moving forward again. But by bit as we find new ways to do things and as our lives naturally start to move with the passage of time… after what felt like an eternity in strictest quarantine. I lost my dad a little over a year ago. The first four months were… Continue reading Moving -my grief
The Podcast Project: Cassie and Nick Show
I’m back, with less movement forward than I’d like, but new found topic ideas, name ideas, and thoughts. And perhaps most importantly a new found spark of excitement for this project. Will start with the new topic ideas... some of which have merged and started to form into more cohesive and thoughtful ideas. I think… Continue reading The Podcast Project: Cassie and Nick Show
The Next Three Days
As I’ve had the time and the thoughts to share, diving back into my writing, my goals, and my next year... it’s hard to not also look back at the last year. I try to avoid conventional New Years Resolutions for any one of twenty good reasons... but the changing of the year does bring… Continue reading The Next Three Days
A Unique Kind of Writers Block
I have so much written and saved in the drafts. So much of it is so incredibly heavy. Grief laden or social justice demanding. It's what flows most easily from my head and heart right now. I need to find more ways to break it up. It's not exactly good for me I don't think.… Continue reading A Unique Kind of Writers Block
