Hey, skinny jeans.
Hey, skinny jeans. I know that you have felt my absence. It’s nothing personal… I still like you. I also like breathing. Things have changed in the last 10 months and what was once ‘fit like a glove’ is now painful contortion. It’s not you. It’s me. You can’t encompass the results of my coping…

Imperfect is real
Imperfect is real. Perfection renders us counterfeit, forces us to conceal. Don’t give in to the pressure that the world serves up because we need real more than we need a show. We need soft hearts in tune. We need bodies ready to work. We need open minds on the same page. We need blood,…

Upon closer inspection
If you look at my calendar you would think it is a mess. The same could be said for my car, the basement, my desktop, and the laundry room. My hope is that upon closer inspection, you might be able to look past the insanity, the yogurt splashes, the boxes, the piles of shoes –…

Pieces of her
She found a piece of herself under the couch last month. It was dusty and covered in Cheerio crumbs but it definitely belonged to her. It was hard to tell but she thinks it might be her sense of adventure. Last week she opened a box in the attic and was shocked to find her…
