A revolution is being celebrated around the world today. Rainbows fill my social media. A step forward and outward. Stories are being shared. A check in the win column for love, acceptance, and joy. I have been thinking about revolutions and storytelling lately – separate concepts that I’ve been trying to connect. I’ve been reading […]

On invitations. It’s that season. Weddings, showers, birthdays, and outdoor barbecues. Invitations to celebrate milestones. While formal invitations, arriving via snail mail and email, are still frequent and appreciated, I am intrigued by the less formal ones.

mayBE 2015: thirty-one. part two.
Ok. Here it is. My husband and I interviewed each other on our last morning in Barcelona. We recorded it. This is probably one of the most awkward and uncomfortable things that I have done in awhile. I really didn’t want to post it because it feels self-indulgent and weird. I think we rambled a […]

Part of my childhood growing up was spent making up games, performing plays, and using my imagination with my cousins; cousins that contributed to my childhood that made it less lonely. In some ways, they added to my vision of having a big family. To this […]

About that Sagrada Familia basilica. HOLY. And about that word “holy.” Looking at the etymology of the word, “holy” is derived from “whole” and was originally used to describe “healthy, entire, and complete.” The Sagrada Familia is still under construction – far from complete. Over 100 years in the making and there is still maybe […]

Today my friend Lara Munro is guest posting. I met Lara for the first time almost 8 years ago on a Friday morning. She whisked two of my children away for a few hours. She was a statuesque angel with her hair pulled back into a loose bun who greeted my #2 and my #3 […]

Introducing Nikki Satira. She is another amazing young person that has been involved in getting my children excited about the outdoors. I have been lucky enough to also hear her sing in a couple of song circles. Listen here to her beautiful voice. Her passion for plants and all things wild is the type of passion […]
