Unpress the Button “Hot button” topics are hot. In more ways than one, right? Back when we read paper newspapers, they’d yell, “Hot off the presses!” when the news was spicy that day. Now we have all sorts of news (and news adjacent) outlets that thrive on “hot” news…to the point that some manufacture it. As a […]
Water or Wheels When I am feeling too pensive for my own good, or too distracted, or too bound up in my daily lists of “have to do” and “need to do” and “why haven’t you put away the Christmas decorations yet, you ridiculous procrastinator?!” I usually do one of two things. The first option is […]
Revolving Resolutions Back in January, I set an alarm on my phone to check in with myself about my annual New Year resolutions. It went off today, surprising me in line at the bank. Whoops. I didn’t exactly make resolutions this year as much as I adopted a “word of the year,” which was/is: Transformation. I made […]
Crown of Years How old do you feel? Like, on the inside? Because I have spent the last two decades feeling like a perpetual 27-year-old. Not on the outside, though. Nope. That ship is chugging toward the horizon faster than I care to admit. I tell myself it doesn’t matter. That I’m only as old as […]
Third Eye Not Blind If you were a reader of this newsletter last year, you may remember that I wrote about being sort of paralyzed due to it being my mom’s birthday. It’s the third birthday since she passed, and it really feels like something I should be able to navigate without a big production. But […]
The Beat Goes On It is always a strangely magical experience when a piece of music stuns me. How does a collection of instruments and voices become something so powerful that my mind can be shifted into another realm of understanding? A song can move my body as much as my mind. It can send me soaring […]
How to Love a Curveball How do we stay mindful when the wild, wild world we live in keeps throwing us curveballs? I’m over here busy ducking and jumping or swinging and missing. I mean, don’t get me wrong, sometimes I get a base hit, maybe even a double or sometimes a triple. But the home […]
Waking Well In the wee hours of the morning, long before the sun comes up, my alarm clock goes off. Time to get up and start the day. I am a “hit the snooze button several times” kind of gal, but since other people who don’t have alarm clocks rely on me getting them to school […]
Sacred Strength In my mind, I’m sorry for being a little too much. Too much like my dad. Too much like my grandmother. And too much of my own slightly off-kilter brand of kooky. I’m sorry because I want to be slower to anger. I want to be a little less concerned with saving reusable things […]
Escaping the Comfort Zone Have you ever found yourself stuck? In your comfort zone? In your job? In your mindset? In your body? It’s not too hard to do. Comfortable things are…well, comfortable. If everything feels like fuzzy slippers and birthday cake, why on earth would you want to change it? Throw in some macaroni & […]
Dream Chaser If you have been waiting for a sign, let me share one with you.  This week, the full moon was a super moon and has lit up the night in my backyard quite remarkably. It’s bright enough to navigate a midnight stroll in my non-streetlight-having neighborhood without a flashlight. I have a friend who complained […]
