Finding Joy in the Journey
I don't know when the world will change. I don't know when the feeling that we're waiting - for change, for justice, for peace, for a calm in the storm - will end. I'm not sure if it will. I'm not sure if it's supposed to. But, I do know this. On my latest project,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I walked out of our bedroom first thing in the morning, barely awake. I took one step wrong at the top of our steps and quickly found myself at the BOTTOM of the steps. I've been thinking a lot about it since then. You see...when I got to the bottom, I did that thing... Continue Reading →

Any [ ] additions, were added during transcription. Hoping to share our journey! Right after marriage, a few months in, John and I bought our first house.... Continue Reading →

Alright... so, perhaps using the word "movement" in a title is a bit strong. But, I'm standing by it. I do a lot of reading... like, a lot. Put something in my hands, related to the news, to the workplace, to historical fiction or just about anything else and I'm likely to dig into it.... Continue Reading →
