Bullies at the Pool [Life’s teachers are everywhere]

While at the public pool playing with my 6-year-old daughter, I was splashed full-on in the face by some obnoxious young boys. I yelled out in surprise, “Hey! Careful!” The biggest one turned towards me. “What, it’s just water,” he replied with a sneer. Continue reading Bullies at the Pool [Life’s teachers are everywhere]

Sound familiar? Continue reading Interrupting Patterns

Sense of Urgency! [Living your best life]

Far too often we approach our days with drudgery – a series of mundane tasks that need to be slogged through in order to reach the sweet spot of pajamas and slumber (often prefaced by a glass or two of wine). Continue reading Sense of Urgency! [Living your best life]

Sitting with impermanence

For a minute I consider dashing up there to grab my camera—this color is astonishing!—but I know that by the time I get back out here, the moment will have faded, and the day-to-day blue will have soaked all the rebellion from the clouds. Continue reading Sitting with impermanence

Job Title: Hole-Filler (a letter of resignation)

I drew people to me who had vacant spaces where love should be, and I shoveled myself into those holes, sweating and aching with the effort it takes to fill the unfillable. Continue reading Job Title: Hole-Filler (a letter of resignation)

Hesitation Point

I have been scrambled lately. My lengthy To-Do lists and filmy future-dreams are whisked together into a froth inside my brain. Continue reading Hesitation Point

Losing, Fear, and Personal Power

Reflections of a mom learning to witness her fears: I had a feeling going into this game Friday night that we might not come out on the winning side, and I was worried.  Continue reading Losing, Fear, and Personal Power

Thoughts on Thoughts, by a Half-Assed Scientist

I love it when I ‘believe’ things or ‘know’ them to be true in my guts and then find out that science is busy proving the same thing. Continue reading Thoughts on Thoughts, by a Half-Assed Scientist

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a bit antsy these days—pacing the four walls of my house, tracing calendar days with my fingertips, and searching the internet for springtime Airbnb’s. Continue reading Accepting the Pause

Reading poems with my dear friend (and book illustrator) @cheryllizalive last night at The Workshop
I’m feeling this lately.
When you are uncertain, when things seem impossible, when life appears stalled—invite LOVE to take over.
There are days when staying in comfy clothes and drinking tea by the fire is about as productive as you want to get.
Please remember—here in America—this is not just a day off of school.
I have gratitude for the words, the way they move through me with their healing hands and rub soft my spiky self-criticism.
