This is still the case, the playing over and over, so I thought I’d share the quote here too. We are not feeling our feelings in order to get rid of them. We are … Continue reading As We Are
I made wheat bread. It’s been forever and a day since I’ve made this particular bread, and I don’t know why I haven’t made it in so long. It used to be a staple in our home.

Fear of spiders, fear of heights, fear of public speaking. But he believes we’re not afraid of different things, divided and … Continue reading Fear and Curiosity
Chamomile tea, steeped in warm oatmilk. A dash of vanilla extract and honey. Sunshine on my desk. And sunshine on my arms. Beyond my window, the wintering lavender and birch trees move with the wind.
