I saw a friend last night that I haven’t seen in a while. I’m quite comfortable with how highly I regard this individual, and still, when I get to see her, it’s always the best kind of surprise. That little twinge in your belly that tells you that even with all the intentions and feelings,… Continue reading Steaming something or other…

The Most Brutal ‘Scape of All.
There is an account I follow online (@dr.zelana) and she posted the other day about griefscape. She defined griefscape as “the space between the life you had and the life you didn’t ask for.” When I read that, I felt gut punched. She shared two other thoughts that grew that ache in my gut, as… Continue reading The Most Brutal ‘Scape of All.
Quiet Time.
I chastise myself a lot for the ways I respond to things. I feel sort of triggered by people, and typically, a back and forth ensues and then, I just end up feeling terrible. It’s not about right or wrong. It’s just that I have feelings, and realistically, few want to really listen to me… Continue reading Quiet Time.
A picture is worth…
I went to go see the Anne Frank exhibit at the Center for Jewish History last night. I was impacted far more than I expected to be. I know, you read that and perhaps reacted with some modicum of horror. How could I not expect to be shook by an exhibit addressing the story of… Continue reading A picture is worth…
Buckle up.
I had a real doozy of a day yesterday. Generally speaking, but also, with great specificity. I had a work call that really spun me around. The good news is that it didn’t tank me as it might have in the past. Truthfully, I really want to tell you about the conversation that I had… Continue reading Buckle up.
The Spectacular Grift.
I haven’t written much on what’s been going on in the world right now, or the United States, to be more specific. I think I’m having a hard time finding the words. There is just so much. I’m not sure where to start. It’s likely the reason why I last honed in on some topics… Continue reading The Spectacular Grift.
Energy Savings.
I recently ended a friendship. Actually, I think it’s more accurate to say that I accepted the end of a friendship. I made peace with it, but only in the way that you try and reconcile a thing that you know is immovable. I think made peace with it is the most accurate description I… Continue reading Energy Savings.
Excuse me, but you’re in my space.
I hear the phrase holding space a lot these days. I do. It’s literally everywhere I look. Now, I’ll admit that this might have something to do with algorithms or whatever the interwebs do these days to connect our words and our Google searches and our deepest desires. I’m sure that’s part of it, but… Continue reading Excuse me, but you’re in my space.
Bring on 2025.
There is something magical about a chance to start over. As humans, particularly in the United States, I think we’ve created a paradigm where there are prescribed points in life where it’s more or less acceptable. This is not to say that you cannot start over at other junctures. People do. It’s just that when… Continue reading Bring on 2025.
Unplugging.
I think we talk a lot about disconnecting. This idea that it’s our connection that promotes and sustains our anxiety. If only we weren’t so connected all the time, we might be able to make space for our breath. We might be able to bring down our blood pressure and smile more and cry less.… Continue reading Unplugging.
