above: our little slice of the Lake Erie shoreline. This week's been a welcome 180 to the ungrounded-ness of last week's post. The one where my gears felt 'caught'; suspended; not fully engaged. (So, Yay!) This tee caught my eye while shoe shopping for E.-- and it made me think. Other than time to settle... Continue Reading →
The photo, above, was the view from my yoga mat yesterday morning. Greetings from the cottage, where I'm writing creekside, with a hot cup of coffee at hand and a blanket on my lap this morning. It's been sunny and clear and just the right kind of cool. We've mostly unpacked. Partially cleaned. Started settling... Continue Reading →

I'll never forget the conversation I had with a friend in 2004, sitting on her couch nursing babies together while she cried about the end of her maternity leave. By the next time we spoke? She was back to her office. She'd made things work. Her first morning leaving went fine, actually. Way better than... Continue Reading →
These days, it feels like I'm engaging...differently. In a handful of ways! . . . Like, more Yeses than No's--because our Colorado clock is ticking. (I'm great at No, thanks and pretty selective with Yes! But for now, a full calendar feels 100% right. . . .I'm on a yoga break, and that doesn't feel... Continue Reading →
Welcome. If you wrote a post for this month’s check-in, I invite you to join the One Word party, share in Comments below, or reflect on your own–whatever works. I’m just glad you’re here! I set myself up, I think. An April Fool's on me, of sorts. I'd expected April to feel spacious, you see. I... Continue Reading →
It’s that time! If you wrote a post for this month’s One Word Check-in, I invite you to join the party, share in Comments below, or reflect on your own–whatever works for you. I’m just glad you’re here! Welcome. I started the month with the idea that engaging my senses would be a way to ground... Continue Reading →
