    2024-05-01 Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin…

    Welcome to May. May 1st. Mayday, May poles, and May baskets for those who believe in the magic of history and tradition.  Mayday is probably one of those historical traditions that was lost with my parent’s generation. I have vague memories of it from my childhood, putting together baskets and leaving them on doorsteps of…

    2024-04-18 It’s only life after all…

    Today I’m “jumping into this day from yesterday’s sin.”  I didn’t promise part two of the post I wrote last last week about “Small Magic” because the Universe has a way of thwarting my plans. But Huzzah! Here I am fresh from reading what I wrote that day and back to continue the conversation.  And…

    2024-04-12 What it Means to be Seen and Heard…

    I need to tell someone. But I don’t have anyone to tell. A therapist might say this need comes from my childhood when I was mostly ignored by my parents. I was a child doing a thing a child thought was the right thing to do – be seen and not heard. Turns out, I…

    2024-01-07 The Cycles and Spirals of Life

    I don’t think life ever really slows down. I think going to the MFA residency year after year has taught me that everything is cyclical and nothing ever ends, it just begins anew. Things change and happen a little differently, and there’s certainly evolution, but the life we think is a straight line is actually…

  • 2024-01-01 Welcome to 2024! 🥳

    2024-01-01 Welcome to 2024! 🥳

    We made it! Welcome to 2024 friends. It’s officially New Year’s Revolutions month.  Not a typo. Resolutions are for sissies. Revolutions are way more impactful and spinning around, circling the focal point, and closing the loop on all the uprisings is super satisfying!  All the puns intended. 😜 Today is the first day of a…

    2023-12-23 The Antidote

    About a week ago I posted about all the things that get my ire up. It wasn’t necessarily a grumpy post but I can see where someone might find it particularly glass-is-half-empty. Since then I’ve been thinking, which is a prickly business but very human of me. There have been several events that have transpired…

    2023-12-17 This One IS About Sandwiches 🥪

    The word of the month is “sandwich” and every variation of the word — sandwiches, sandwiched, sand witch, and sandwicher.  Why?  Because I said so.  Ok. So it doesn’t have to be every person’s word of the month but if I have to “observe” something as dumb as Valentine’s Day, then I for sure can…

    2023-11-26 BIG MOVES, Revealed…

    One might ask, am I doing with the extra time I have each day while hiding out from the world, free of most of my typical obligations?  The truth is that not much has changed. It turns out I spend a fair bit of time every single day maintaining this Castle of a house and…
