These legs weren’t made for photographs. They carry maps in purple and yellow, edges of tables, missed steps, one more mile than planned. They’ve bent for groceries, for toys left on the floor, for the quiet, daily weight of living. They are not smooth, not still, not made for display. But they know dirt. They... Continue Reading →
I've recently discovered a love of kayaking. Last year, I purchased a hot pink Origami Paddler. While there have been some issues with quality (and the company has since understandably gone bankrupt), it turned out to be a good purchase for me as it reintroduced me to the water - something I had tucked away...

Combine that with the fact that I miss my friends, am still recovering from back surgery, and in a... Continue Reading →

I've been looking forward to this week for some time. One of my besties and I had tickets to see Carole King in concert. As with all planned gatherings of more than 10 people, our concert fell victim to COVID-19 and has been postponed to a yet-to-be-determined date. I'm disappointed, of course, but given how...

I confess. I let the beginning of Lent slip right past me. I let all of the busyness of life take priority. I didn't commit to giving anything up or to taking on any positive habits. I didn't even recognize Ash Wednesday. Then came coronavirus. All around us, life as we know it is coming... Continue Reading →
