Taking Life Stitch By Stitch – Anne Lamott - May 19, 2017
The Gods Are Here, In This Almost Empty Nest - May 12, 2017
From Facebook to Snapchat to Instagram Stories, or Other Ways My Kids Make Me Feel My Age - May 5, 2017

True confession: I haven’t always been a poetry lover. When I was younger I collected poems, intrigued by the connection I felt with a complete stranger’s expression of my emotions. I copied poem after poem into spiral notebooks, savoring every word. And in college, I fell in love with Blake and Dickinson and Maya Angelou […]

White America, aren’t you tired of seeing people die? I made a mistake of watching the news today. I tuned in to see the first videos released of Alton Sterling being put to the ground and shot to death I made a mistake of watching the news to see his widow behind a podium speaking […]

My word for 2015 was courage – courage because I knew that coming off the significant changes in my life from 2014, I would need fearlessness to remember that when one door closes, another door opens. I would need courage to really look at myself in the year before I turned 50, hoping to find […]

I definitely notice a leaning towards women writers telling the stories of strong willed, independent women – and lots […]
