tiny moments (and everything in between)
I’ve been working on my essays for the holiday run of Just Five Things, and they just feel…good. I had doubts about running it this December (December 2-13) since autumn has been extra full over here. October was a month-long, online journaling workshop and then I went right into Gratitude Week. All the while I’ve … Continue reading Being Held
It’s the end of another week. Another Friday. After another Thursday after another Wednesday after another Tuesday after another…you get the idea. And you might think that I’m headed towards some reflection on the tedium of it all…the endless repetition and cycle of days and weeks, months and years. On the contrary. It’s this one-after-the-other … Continue reading Tabula Rasa
I'm finishing up a summer round of Just Five Things. As is often the case, I have mixed feelings when a course comes to a close. On the one hand, I'd love to keep going because the work with my students is so, so good (they are amazing). On the other hand, I'm ready to … Continue reading I Just Want to Say Thank You

The ones for gratitude, the ones for right now, the ones for dreams. I like the way lists … Continue reading Five on a Tuesday + a Giveaway

Sometimes I don't know what to write. I just know that I want to write. Often I stumble through some loose stream-of-consciousness writing. Though there are days when the thought of getting all that on paper exhausts me...before I even start. And so I turn to lists. Because they're immediate and they satisfy in a … Continue reading A List of What I’m Feeling
Today we're visiting with someone who's been here before...the very wonderful Cory Sipper. Last time we learned about her sewn sketches (you can read that interview here). This time, Cory talks about her music, her just-do-it attitude, and her newly released album. Here we go... As a creative mama myself, I find it challenging to … Continue reading An Interview + A Giveaway {Cory Sipper}
