Doing my part. Pfizer Shot #1. Whew! Had a delightful conversation with my nurse about how appreciative I was and how she enjoys this part of her job. My appointment was at an urgent care center 5 minutes from my house. They got me in and out quic
Popping on here to share about the Barnraisers Project. What is the Barnraisers Project? It is a project started by organizer @garrettbucks : The Barnraisers Project coaches and trains white people to organize their friends, neighbors and colleagu
Dusting off my blog, wanting to capture what living through a pandemic has been like. I’m not good at capturing my thoughts “in real time” (why yes, I’m an Enneagram Type 9, why do you ask?) but I’m leaning into the idea
From our house to yours on this Merry Christmas Eve
So he made it. When we sent Kyle back to the University of Vermont in August, we had no idea what was in store for him. Would cases spike out of control? Would he be back home after just a few weeks because they had to shut down again like in the spr
What a week. What a relief. Biden is going to be our president. And we get Kamala too. Been doing a lot of self-observation and thinking about how much we think we “know” about politicians and national figures. How much we assume that
Hunkering down to watch the election results.
Voted today. Line was out the building, around the corner and down Columbia Pike. All told, took about an hour. Some observations: • No I Voted stickers (boo!) • Though good intentioned, people have varying ideas of what 6 feet apart mea
Had a bit of a close call this morning. Showed up for my 8am appointment at my orthodontist this morning. Let the office manager know I was waiting in the parking lot. They were just getting in so told me they’d let me know when they were ready
So, here I am. Again. Writing a post about jumping back into Instagram and blogging. My overthinking tendencies have been creating paralysis—should I just pick up where I left off? should I acknowledge that I have been gone awhile? am I once
Feeling like I’m finally on the upswing after being hit hard by a cold or flu bug. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve been completely knocked out of action. 😷 Unfortunately I was also supposed to be at @kripalucenter for a writing

Home. ❤️ Lots to process. Lots to think about. From this past week, yes, but also from this lifetime’s journey with my boys, as a parent, as a homeschooler. The latter may be “over” and yet, it feels like an exciting new beginning.
This kid. ❤️ My heart is bursting as I’ve watched him come into his own. Watched him make thought out decisions about what he wants to do with his life then do what he needs to do it. He’s starting this semester as an Environmental Studi
He did it! Kyle was accepted into the Environmental Studies program in the Rubenstein School of Environment & Natural Resources at the University of Vermont for the Spring 2020 semester. He’s going to be a Catamount! 🐾 Can’t say eno
Finally getting a chance to watch Life from Above (streaming on PBS) with Kyle. Simply stunning cinematography. Brings back memories of watching Blue Planet together when the boys were younger. In the Homeschool Alliance we’ve been talking abo

As I’m looking for a way back into regular blogging, I’m wondering if it is as simple as making time a couple of days a week to explore “what’s on my mind?” I know, not the most original question, but it’s a framin
I was channeling @melissawileybooks last night. Pulled out my micron pens to do a little bit of line drawing while watching the livestream @timestalks with Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey (the reporters who broke the Weinstein story). I’ve been fa
Ahhhhh. Made it back to Ocean City. 🦀 Have a lot of house-related things I want to take care of so a week at the beach in September seemed like a perfect idea. 🦀 #breatheinbreatheout #ocmd
