I'm working on something new right now. While I love leading my online classes (I'll have a new run of Just Five Things for you soon...next one is in April), I've been curious about bringing things into real time. In a few weeks, I'll have just that opportunity. As a homeschooling parent, I feel fortunate [...]
So often, when I come to this space or this space, I’m at a loss for words. I only know that there’s something I want to say. I tread lightly because I don’t wish (ever) to contribute to the noise Out There (there’s so much). A lot of it is good, don’t get me wrong; still, so much. I finally [...]
The way the pup curls up in her bed so that, at a quick glance, I can’t tell where her feet or head begin or end. The way the washing machine swishes and swirls, makes our clothes-towels-sheets clean, just like that. The way mornings are quiet. The way yoga feels like coming home. The [...]
It makes me happy to think of people I love when I'm making certain recipes or using certain spoons or filling certain bowls. I remember the person who passed on the recipe, or gifted the spoon, or handed down the mixing bowl. Lately, I've been thinking about certain people a lot, given what's going on in [...]

It's been a while since I've hosted an interview + giveaway. This is a series in which I introduce you to very special people…individuals who work equally hard at their craft and at living an intentional life....individuals willing to share thoughts on creativity and discussing current work dear to his/her heart. Each individual who joins [...]
An ongoing series of Monday snapshots and quiet reflections. Sometimes Mondays look like Christmas lights and a hint of sunrise.
Ten Things. Right Now. 1. the wind…it’s cold, but it feels so good…it lifts (branch, hair, spirit) 2. the pup at my feet…her loyalty, her furriness, her unconditional love 3. the sky…vast, open…covering, holding, reflecting 4. the last of the leaves…falling…unpretentious, somehow regal 5. my fleece jacket, my handknit hat, my son’s old gloves…so many [...]
