is it true?
I began this post last weekend. At this time, I cannot remember why I chose the title. A lot has happened this past week. It is difficult to conjure up context as to how I was interpreting Ellen Langer and Jeff Krasno. (actually…is it true? is a reflection of Ellen Langer’s research suggesting that all […]

a healing journey.
I believe in healing. Have you ever been asked what Superpower you would want to have? Once in a first grade classroom I shared that I would want the superpower of healing. And I remember feeling the student next to me nod, as if to say, ‘yeah…me too’. The book Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane […]

winter doldrums.
I began writing yesterday morning. I was hopeful to publish because I love the first day of a new month. Below is yesterday, followed by a continued reflection from today.

simple and complex.
Tomorrow at 4:20 I will facilitate the content I have created over the last 12 years or so to a small group of teenagers. Because of the time of day, and perhaps the unconventiality of the content to the space (a public school setting), it will feel different than it feels right now. Right now […]

is gossip good?
And just like that it is bonus Saturday morning… I love three day weekends and getting a Saturday do-over.

to know thyself
In this blog post I share Andre Duqum’s year end podcast with journal prompts. It’s exceptional as is Andre. “As for me, in 2025 I’d like to allow what has sprouted over the course of this past year to continue its growth. I desire to be a patient daughter of the sacred soil of my own precious life experience.”

2025 blog year
The person was special. The person knew suffering and made space for other people’s suffering. The person was inclusive and made decisions that they felt were equitable and humanizing. In my experience, people mattered to this person and this person mattered to people.

a better way. week thirty four
And just like that, it’s Sunday’s Book Club post on Thursday. In good faith, I uploaded the components of this blog on Sunday 🤷♀️ For me, it has been a summer season of new learning, as well as relearning. In May it was Nutrition. July focused on a new job and new learning – about […]
