Bella and I took this walk after I got off of work. It was a good way to say goodnight. The day was done and we were waiting for John to get home, which was a perfect time to exhale a whole bunch and sniff about the grass. I plugged in all twinkle lights before I… Continue reading perspective in the light

Bella’s new thing

John and I got a dog. We got a dog. The dog is a girl. She is a husky mix with big paws and a broad nose that sniffs around every corner of the baseboards. She is soft and playful. Her name is Bella. I am terrified and excited. The last dog I had was… Continue reading Beauty

Who I am to be

My search for belonging has been a constant companion; writing the cartography to find my way home. As my Mother always said while I was growing up “No matter where you go, there you are.” This is a place where I can continue to create what comes next as I hold sacred what has been and stay grateful to the joy that is present.
