Last weekend (7/23) we hosted a birthday party for Ladybug, which I plan on sharing much more about in depth, but suffice it to say, for now, that it was a huge deal and I'm still incredibly proud, thankful, and overwhelmed by how lovely it was. We have some incredible friends and family who are [...]

Twenty-Three
Oh, My Scotty, saying that we have been together for twenty three years seems both impossibly long (how can we be old enough?) and yet... it is equally difficult to remember not loving and being loved by you! I guess I can begin by saying Thank You. For choosing me 23 years ago when nobody [...]
A Good Body
This is my body, today. I did nothing to prepare for this picture, other than clean the mirror and close the blinds so I’d be less backlit. I didn’t remove the hair from my face, or try to find a flattering pose, or anything like that. This is my body, today. This is not a [...]
Walls of glass
Walls of glass, Crystal clear, six inches thick I live within People pass, see me here They don’t see the walls So they Call me to come But I’m stuck The light dances, the world shines Blessings abound, and all mine But they lie outside And there’s no door I want to come! I want [...]
Wellness Wednesday 1/12/22
Welcome to 2022, Dear Friend! I’m not sure how it has been going for you, but this year is starting in a very mixed bag for me! I have SO much intention and passion and hope for this year, but at the same time, my engine is sputtering to a start, and even the days [...]
New Year, Finding Me
Welcome to 2022, Y’all! I think, at this point, all the “New Year New ME” posts and declarations ring a little hollow, or at least they do for me, at least as regards myself. (YMMV, you do you, Boo!) Maybe it’s that I don’t want a *new* me, I just really want to be able [...]
Wellness Wednesday 9/23/20
I’m sitting here trying to remember the past week, because, maybe due to this hormonal limbo I am living in, it’s a bit of a blur. I’m really exhausted, but not completely in a bad way. I’ve essentially taken a full week off from YTT, both because I haven’t had the mental energy to tackle [...]
Wellness Wednesday 9/16/20
Wellness Wednesday 9/16/20 I’m not gonna lie, all the stuff I usually write about here has been very much back-burnered the past week in favor of focus on my yoga teacher training- and in that area, I’ve made tremendous progress! I’m over halfway done overall, and am totally finished with anatomy, which feels amazing. The [...]
Authentic Stereotype
Guys...am I a hippie? You don't have to answer. I know the truth, and I'm actually okay, even *good* with it. It's just funny to me, to realize how, as I have slowly, over time, come into my own, how my identity has settled, and how different it is, both from who I thought I [...]
Not alone, Not lonely.
When I woke up this morning, you were my first happy thought, my first smile. Maybe it's because the anniversary of when we met is so close (Fun Fact- SYATP is on that same date this year!), maybe it's because I woke up sore, and remembered your encouragement that last night's ride was for *me*, [...]
