Breaking the binary of all or nothing… I know, I love it. This whole “OR” mentality. As if something has to be one or the other. Healthy or toxic. Good or bad. Right or wrong. I’m learning that here’s a whole lot of in-between. Also, I am constantly being asked, by friends and clients, “isContinue reading “Break the Binary”

No Time Turner Available
Good morning y’all. Lately I’ve felt the stress of wanting to be in two places at once. Pummeled by the reality that I CANNOT do all the things (because they’re often happening at the same time). The guilt that encompasses me is pretty illogical. Am I really gonna be mad about being subject to theContinue reading “No Time Turner Available”
Love Letter 3674
If I wrote a love letter to my husband every day (I don’t, but if I did), today’s would read like this: I fall more in love with you every day. Or rather I fall in love with you again every day. Little things remind me of how amazing you are and how lucky weContinue reading “Love Letter 3674”
Returning to Joyfulness
It’s been a minute. Hello and happy Spring. The sun has returned and life springs anew. Flowers are blooming and birds are singing and I find myself smiling to myself on my walks– staring up at the trees in wonder. Wonder and Joy have been big themes for me lately. I’m doing a play, aContinue reading “Returning to Joyfulness”
Greeting Cards
Today I was at Trader Joe’s and I bought a handful of greeting cards. Over the past (however many) years, I’ve cultivated the habit of occasionally sending friends real mail. All this because of my cousin Amy. Amy is my cool older cousin who mailed me cards when I was in high school (and college).Continue reading “Greeting Cards”
Advent in the 2020s
One of the strange and wonderful things about aging is realizing which traditions you want to hold on to and which ones you can release. Lighting the advent candles is something I’ve held onto. Hope is such a strong, gritty, determined thing. And more light and warmth is almost always a good thing. After allContinue reading “Advent in the 2020s”
Whispers of Autumn
It’s starting— the weather’s shifting, coughs are getting deeper, green is fading to gold, and I get to wear scarves. GAME ON. California catches a lot of flack for “not having seasons,” which we do, they’re just kinda chill about it. Nothing too extreme. (Until everything catches fire again but shhhh) Our neighbor’s tree isContinue reading “Whispers of Autumn”
Performance Studies 2002
Watching our thesis about the “Detriment to Democracy: Infotainment, performative politics and 24-hour news” come true is not the satisfying experience academia promised.
Unrecognized Golden Era
When I was a kid I thought Philosopher was basically the best job ever. You’d stand in an amphitheatre surrounded by Roman columns and pontificate. Or you’d sit in nature and know things. You’d walk and hear and tell stories that weave our truths together. That was my take on it and it sounded prettyContinue reading “Unrecognized Golden Era”
Unrecovered
I’m safeguarding my disorder to insure that it will continue. So It will survive. It will go underground and change its name to Wellness and garner so much applause it’d keep Tinkerbell alive forever.
