Looking at life through a different lens
Reading Time: 3 minutes When the morning is quiet I hear everything. I used to hate this, now it only kind of annoys me. The fridge is humming. The water is shifting in the pipes. Birds are outside. My pulse in my ear sounds like the ocean. My breathing – sometimes steady, sometimes sounding forced, but not quite like […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes I’ve deleted this post a few times. I’ve been writing it for about a month. At one point it was 500 words – I had punched in out in 10 minutes and then sat back and thought, no, this isn’t what I want to say. That happens from time to time. Maybe it’s because the […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes No one’s body is your damn business unless you were truly invited in to that conversation. Let me explain. While I may share with you about overall health and stress and exercise and nutrition – this is not an invitation to comment on my body. When you’re out with others and you notice that they […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Imagine a seesaw, or a teeter totter. When two people sit at each side and there’s an uneven weight distribution you see the fluctuations pretty easily. And if you’re like me and you went on the teeter totter with your sister who’s six years older than you and much bigger than you, you probably remember […]
Reading Time: 7 minutes I don’t know how to start this. Part of me wants to be sing-songy because that’s where my heart sits right now, but I’m unsure. It’s not often that I’m at a loss for words – the joke with my friends, and sometimes with you, is that I’m full of words. I love language. Words […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m saying it again. What is time? I will never not say that because it makes sad that time has gone by so quickly, but excited that I’m also rushing into something else. I guess I like the collision of these feelings. The excitement of new steals our hearts. It’s what makes food and relationships […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes I’m in the dark looking at the stars from my backseat window. I noticed lights from plane flying above a little while ago. I’m looking out the hatch and can see lights from the town miles away. The sky is so clear. Maybe it’s being in the mountains, maybe it just tonight, but I don’t […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes But I just can’t get this dreamin’ off me It feels good to sit down here. I’ve been dabbling on this post all week and I think that’s my plan, work on them bits at a time unless I have that spark in my fingers. But this one I definitely wanted to take my time. […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes It’s been almost 5 months since I sat down and wrote a blog post. I don’t know where that time went. Like, I do, but I don’t. I know that there are many of you who feel the same way. It’s not just that the pandemic has played a role in your perception of time, […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes This month is National Poetry Writing Month – or #NaPoWriMo. It’s called 30 for 30 – 30 poems for 30 days. I wrote every day last April and was blown away at what came out on the screen, but also how relieving it was. I wrote in high school. I was on the school paper. […]
