On New Life

February 17, 2011

It’s middle of the night dark and I roll over and remember you.
You already know me and I already know you, though we won’t meet for months. How the mystery still impresses me, how the unknown terrifies.
I promise to not be fearful, for you, for her, and drift back to sleep.
Waking needing food that doesn’t [...]

Big Brother

November 9, 2010

THERE was this moment yesterday.
.
.

You had finally slowed down. It was one of those times.
{You know the kind.}
.
.
You sat with me.
We prepared mind and body for mid-day rest.
We prayed.
You wanted me to ask God for a bunny. You hoped it would be in your bed waiting when you woke up.
{If only [...]

Art Is Medicine

November 5, 2010

Sometimes I see beauty and art and compare.
My life to theirs.
My art to theirs.
Does mine have value?

But then I remember
producing while valuating
is like
writing while editing.
{which I would never do.}

So instead of comparing
I relegate the art and beauty to where it belongs.
To inspire
To heal
To make better.

Your art makes me want to be better at life.
In the [...]

Good Lifekeeping

October 29, 2010

I received a Good Housekeeping April, 1965 as a gift from her this weekend. The cover is full of epic hair, as you can see. And eyeliner the way I wear mine.
The insides are not only sights to behold in their endlessly funny ways, but treasures for a wannabe anthropologist-ish. Like me.

I’m fascinated by the [...]

How Do You Watch?

November 10, 2009

I have a few favorite shows that I love to put on and just sink into the relaxation of having to think of nothing in that moment. I know that I’m just sitting there being entertained, but sometimes that is exactly the medicine for what ails. My days are filled with so much, especially right [...]

Spooky Fun

October 30, 2009

As we pack up everything except the fun Halloween costumes (for a party tonight and trick or treating tomorrow!), I wanted to make sure you knew about these super fun and spooky Halloween features that Picnik has right now. I’ve already professed my Picnik love in the past, and that love burns brightly still. I [...]

Final Fall

October 28, 2009

Today while out at the store, I noticed this gorgeous Ginkgo tree. Almost all the leaves were still on it, having turned this luminous golden heavenly color.
I did a very unladylike thing and traipsed into the mulch and discreetly snagged a handful of leaves off the tree and shoved them into my purse.
I thought about [...]
