Another guest blog from my courageous, vulnerable, amazing and slightly irreverent sister… “Basically your body is fighting itself,” was the explanation of the urgent care doctor who told me my strep infection spread to cause a peritonsillar abscess. “Oh, that makes sense,” I replied. My tonsils hate me. I hate them. Since I can remember [...]

The beauty in the storm…
I’ve loved storms ever since I was a little girl. I remember waking during thunderstorms in the middle of the night to find my mother sitting by a wide-open window watching the storm sweep into the valley. I would climb on her lap, watch the lightening, count until the thunder rolled, and fall asleep to [...]
Notes from the Road: Flickers of Fear
The other night as the air was sucked out of the tent, my son asked “What’s that noise?” I felt the flicker of fear. My response, “Umm I think a little rainstorm.” Within minutes the side of the tent collapsed in and he exclaimed, “Mom I counted it is 39 miles away!” I thought to [...]
Notes From the Road: Heading Out and Settling In

It started with a church sermon titled “Unpacking Love”, continued to be present in my Yoga for Loss workshop, and the day ended in conversation with a friend [...]
A New Chapter
Last week a friend remarked, “You’re entering a new chapter in your life.” A statement that became very real for me over the weekend, which I spent caring for my children and helping my parents out. By Saturday night, I was exhausted and sat in the dark watching a movie with a child up well [...]
How did I get here?
I am having one of those “How did I get here?” moments. Just a minute ago I was asked my weight (thought it imperative not to fib as somehow weight is really important on this leg of my travels). My bags measured and tagged with their appropriate weights – humans not tagged. I am walking out to [...]
