I’m not a firebrand. I’m not a person who will stand on a corner with a sign and yell at passing cars. But I am also not someone who will roll over. I will not comply. I will find ways to resist that are more subtle, more subversive, and hopefully more effective.

Morning Pages
I still never really know what will happen here when I begin. I often change everything two or three times before I hit Publish. I always think these posts are sooo boring, and question why I persist, but yet I do. It’s like a sick compulsion. It’s like a job nobody hired me to do but I feel I have to do it anyway.
Did I Ever Tell You The Story of Nibbies And Her Puppies?
I found them funny unless I was in them or had some memory of the incident myself. I do remember the story of Nibbies' puppies, but I want to tell you MY version.
I’ve Got Something to Celebrate
In one way, I am sad that it has taken me this long to understand myself: what I want to do and who I am. And in another way, I am excited to launch a new writing project in a few weeks, one more in alignment with who I am as a writer and a person.

I was going to do something for Lent, but never got around to deciding what. I don’t want to “give up” anything; I want to add something. I want a new challenge, a new activity, a new project. I did the digital declutter in January and started a book club in February, now I really … Continue reading Giving Up Procrastination For Lent
Crank Time
Here in Pennsylvania it rained. All day. G is so sick she sat on the couch and binge-watched DVR-ed episodes of Long Island Medium and drank copious amounts of hot water laced with coconut oil and raw honey. She is really sick. I did 47 loads of laundry, went to the ATM, and to the … Continue reading Crank Time
Dropped the ball
So as it turns out I'm not Wonder Woman after all. I can't write and meditate and blog and strength train and get in 10 thousand steps and teach Power Yoga and clean the studio and walk Boomer. Today I crashed and burned. No writing. No meditation this morning either. (But that will get done … Continue reading Dropped the ball
