April 22nd is a weird fucking day for me. First of all, it’s Earth Day. Not weird. Awesome, in fact. My favorite holiday. I’ve written about it from a technology perspective, as well as from corporate “green team” and volunteer perspectives, Today I will plant bachelor’s buttons and sunflower seeds in the garden, something we’ll not get to enjoy…

my dualities, my life, my journey
I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills ‘Til the landslide brought it down Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin’ ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons…
Playing it by ear (3 day journey)
TUESDAY I can’t say each day what I am going to feel or hear or inhale or gather in. I know that I am not a mother. My therapist told me to express thanks for blessings already on their way and I said why. WHY. We did this one year ago, two years ago, three years ago and…nothing. The agency…
It never goes away (never, ever)
Lately feeling a perpetual state of anxiety as spring arrives and everything is in flux. My back has not returned to 100% since the injury 15 months ago which means I had to beg for a refund from my long-awaited blacksmithing class as I knew there was no way I could be on my feet for 6 hours, much less…

March Madness (…is divinest sense?)
When I was fifteen or sixteen, my Honors English teacher Mr Lewis gave each of us a poem that he thought represented us well. I got Emily Dickinson (score!), with this poem above. Anyone who knows even a bit of me will get a chuckle reading this as it couldn’t be closer to the core of who I am. So…

7 years, babe…
Who knew this blog would bring me you. Seven years ago today you came into my life, neither of us knowing at the time how everything would be different from then on. Thank you, my love. Thank you for arriving, for staying, for never giving up. Thank you for all that you are and for loving me endlessly. Thank you.…
Guest Post: Language (2015)
Hola blog readers! I’ve been discovering pieces that my husband wrote in years past that, since he is no longer a regular blogger, would be fun to share (I have his blessing, of course), so I thought I’d kick off with this passion piece where he discusses his love of words and language in general…enjoy! “There is plenty of evidence…
5 Things to Stop Doing – NOW!
A few months ago, I was mentioning to a hiring manager – a CLIENT – over the phone that I would be out of the office for several days because we were celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday. He then actually had the nerve to “joke” with me that my husband was “robbing the cradle”, and when I calmly mentioned that…
