A few weeks ago, I was walking with Mike through a forest preserve when something unexpected happened. The walk didn’t just feel familiar—it took me somewhere.

I'm reading Mark Nepo's "The Book of Awakening" right now, and these were his words to me this morning (I like to think the author is speaking directly to me): From the agonies of kindergarten, when we first were teased or made fun of in the midst of all our innocence, we all have struggled… Continue reading Podcast #7- Invisibility and Rarely Discussed Menopause Symptoms

I was concerned that I wouldn't receive the medication in time, and the prospect… Continue reading Podcast Episode Five- Guest Star and Real Talk about Migraines & Anxiety
The past few weeks I've felt like I've had to drag myself around everywhere I go. Like a cartoon figure who unfolds themselves out of bed onto the floor, down the hall, and onto the couch each day. I can't motivate my teenager to homeschool most days, I can barely motivate myself to get in… Continue reading 100 Drops of Gratitude
