Today I achieved a goal! 500 likes on my blog posts since I started it in 2014. The first 450 may have been that first year when I was philosophizing in Kenya, but not too shabby. Thank you to anyone and everyone who reads this. It's self-therapy and I appreciate those who love and support…
Time to Reflect: COVID-19 (Post #5)
From my Facebook- just want to document here too: Documenting to remember my gratitude and thoughts on today, 4/5/20: Thank you to those in the healthcare industry- from doctors, nurses, medical assistants, dentists, pharmacists, all the way to the administrative and profession staff that keep things moving. You’ve been in my thoughts and heart. Thank…
Time to Reflect: COVID-19 (Post #4)
Things I'm realizing on "day something" of self-isolation: We live on a cul-de-sac. Typically there are at least 10 cars going through on every other day. But during this quarantine period, it is "still". "Still" can be peaceful in many circumstances. But a "still" and quiet cul-de-sac, usually bustling with activities, is eerie.We can hear…
Time to Reflect: COVID-19 (Post #3)
Another day down....Finn and I learning how to work together a bit more each day (though, full disclaimer, then we have really tough days but they are getting better). It is strange to live in a little cul-de-sac, not personally impacted healthwise by the COVID-19. It's easy to feel disconnected on the reality that's happening…
Time for Gratitude: Happy 2019
I am grateful. 2019 has had several amazing moments and also very, very, very difficult and painful moments. But I am grateful. I am grateful for my family who will never let me fall. I'm grateful for the way they love and support my family without fail. I cannot imagine life without their support. I…
Time for Motherhood: Finn at Six Months
Finn is now six months. Six months! In the beginning, I thought by six months I'd be an exceptional parent and pretty much know everything there is to know. Now I know the truth- not a chance. I may never know. We had our first Christmas together. It was a strange one with ice, illnesses,…
Time for Reflection: Me Too
Me too. I don't identify sexual harassment and assault as only being experienced by women. I don't identify the assailant with always being a man. But what I do know, is it's prevalent and we live in a culture of "shame", secrecy, and disbelief. The "Me too" campaign has made me revisit some old haunts…
Time for Gratitude: December 28, 2016
Today I'm grateful for the time someone takes to say, "Bless you" or "Gesundheit" when someone sneezes. I'm aware this isn't always the practice and I understand. I try not to take it personally. My oldest sister always makes a point- whether in a theater, a classroom, a store, in a quiet room, or in…
Time for Friendship: We Are the Same
We were born the same, you and I. Born to loving parents. Born and brought into a world of hope and possibility. We were both raised in good families. Taught by people who inspire others. We took the same classes, read the same books, knew the same people. We laugh at the same things. You bring me…
Time for Gratitude: November 18, 2016
Today I'm grateful for slower mornings, cups of coffee, and not needing to be anywhere at any certain time.
