So according to tradition, I’m going to get married. I just thought I’d let you know. I stood in the crowd. Larissa threw the bouquet from the balcony. And I caught it. This either means I am incredibly sporty and adept at catching bouquets, OR… It means that I’m getting married. Someday. I don’t knowContinue reading “Married”

I am unpacked. All is well.  I can’t find my ipod charger cord, but I’ll find it.  So here’s a little tour of my life as a single 35 year old woman.   This is the view from the storage facility I manage.   This is the sun shining through the trees just outside my new apartment. Continue reading “My New Home”

I just wrote a bunch of words about sleeping. Soooo… That was boring. I am grateful for three days of going to bed early. I needed this week. I enjoyed a lovely dinner with my friend Kathy on Tuesday. Yesterday, I sat on the patio at a lovely restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal andContinue reading “Taking it Easy”

Once upon a time, I got to perform with Jim Dale. It was incredible. Every night was this beautiful adventure with an amazing, generous, and talented actor. And in the audience, his beautiful Roanne watched with this bright, vibrant smile. I remember her hand on my arm as she shared her love. It was theContinue reading “A Love Story”

Stars, sunlight, moonlight, Light of the World, darkness, light under a bushel… Lots… of light. I was overwhelmed by the breadth ofContinue reading “Lessons of Light”

Last week, my brother Nick asked me my thoughts on the patriarchal order. I had to think about it for a moment, but then this thought came flowing into my mind. The kind of thought that makes you seem really smart–but you’re learning just as much as the person you’re speaking to… I told himContinue reading “Connection”

Michael Merzenich, a renowned neuroscientist, says this about the brain: “Now, one of the characteristics of this change process is that information is always related to other inputs or other information that’s occurring in immediate time, in context. And that’s because the brain is constructing representations of things that are correlated in little moments ofContinue reading “Creation”

I’m reading the post on Rosh Hashanah from the tumblr–Just Say Amen Already.  And the song playing in the background is “I don’t know Who I am, Who I am…” by Missy Higgins. So that’s me in this present moment. Saturday. I am having a difficult moment trying to figure out where to start. IContinue reading “Being Eve”

I’m sorry. I know I didn’t post all week. Here’s the thing. I really try to write with two guidelines in mind. 1) Be Grateful2) Be Present/Real/Authentic I know I am writing with the purpose of expressing daily gratitude–but I never want it to be sunshine and unicorns, unless I’m really feeling that.
