I watch my babes climb around on my father’s gravestone. They slide their little fingers in the grooves of the inscription and investigate the engraved picture of a cabin in the woods. This is the first time my son is old enough to read the words on the stone. As he does so, I’m flooded. […]
Perpetual Tug-of-War… My Messy Beautiful
April 8, 2014
I was in a relationship for half my life. And then one day I wasn’t.
I had never anticipated standing in this particular spot a day in my life before then, and it took me a long time to find the courage to remain there and feel any sense of comfort in the chaos.
The Librarian Told Me I Was Failing
March 27, 2014
Little Lady and I hit the library. I was there to pick up a couple of items just in from my mile long request list, jam packed with unraveling and mind blowing reads that are stripping me down and filling me up. I can’t get enough of dissecting this human experience and I’ve devoured pages […]

Your identity can slowly morph into this responsible, manner checking, poop-tracking, laundry chasing, errand running being right before your eyes, yet totally under the radar, until you look into the mirror one day and wonder who that face looking back at you is. You love this […]
Intentions – 2014
December 31, 2013
What brought me here – every step, choice, and experience – doesn’t really need resolving. Each step taught me something, brought me to today. I’ve done what I could when I could with the best I had. No regrets.
