i might be cheating a bit here with spc (because it’s not a self portrait), but this photo andrea shot seems to capture the theme of shine. shine… myriam says i’m much more sassier in person than i am here on this blog. jen lemen says the same thing....

(i heart u 2 – a gift from my mom, totally comforting me this week.) i’m sitting here with a knowing of uncertainty. i’m not sure how to start this blog post – in fact, i’m not totally convinced i should even write it, but a dear dear...

been thinking about how vulnerable i feel sometimes when i meet other people who mention that they read this blog. anxiety creeps in. nerves flush my cheeks. and i get a bit shy. i feel the enormity of my fumbles, displayed here for all the world to see. i feel the...

i know this is the season of being present. of paying deep attention. of being grateful. but for me, for many years, this season was a recount of loss and grief. it was a season of unspoken pain and memory. only in the last several years has it been different for me....

a tender-hearted conversation with john. it makes me think of this delicate song called “somebody loved” which is one of my all-time favorites songs to sing outloud while i pretend that i can actually sing (i cannot). often when i’m singing, john...
