I think I published this and unpublished it right afterwards. Ooops... “Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We … Continue reading Interlude

Are you familiar with Brene Brown? If not, let me introduce you. She is amazing and I've been a huge fan of hers for years. She's doing a podcast called "Unlocking Us." I can't recommend it strongly enough. Edited to add: Thanks to Michael’s’ question, I’m back to add this: Brene Brown is a researcher … Continue reading Tip for the Day

I have not been this busy since I was in graduate school and working and raising kids. It’s not bad. It’s just a lot. Yes I'm a warrior woman... I’m doing my click list for the grocery right now. With my daughter, who’s taking her turn on the computer and talking - on speakerphone - … Continue reading Too Busy for a Title

I’m in the middle of a frenzy of “What about me-itis.” I expect to come out of it sometime tomorrow and be able to talk about it or able to talk about something anyhow. At the moment, I’m feeling a bit bereft. Wandering off to brood and grieve.

She had been waxed the day before and so her skin was smooth and hairless. Fingers circled, rubbed, caressed … Continue reading The Massage II

That’s it’s. Today the grands were off school and their mama had to work late. They stayed home, I worked and took care of them. We had another great day, but I’m sooooo tired. Good night, friends.

Here I am again. The day was lovely. The grands were great. Truly. They were pleasant. They were cooperative. They cleaned their bedroom. We did classes, a park, and a birthday party. We had a good time. And I’m exhausted. Exhausted. I’ve eaten dinner. It’s 8:15. Time for bed? Oh, yeah. Definitely. I have not … Continue reading Still Awake

I wanted images tonight... A woman waking up at 3 a.m., eyes wide open, sitting bolt upright in bed. The woman in a meeting, cup of coffee beside her. Same woman, looking tired in a class. The woman in line at the fast food drive through, two kids strapped in car seats behind her. Baths, … Continue reading Wordless
