It’s been a long time. I have been busy living life instead of writing about it but as the two year anniversary of moving here approached I was planning an update. Something along the lines of last year’s. I wanted to talk about how have settled more firmly into my life, into my place in…
“And remember, people like to read stories about things going wrong!” The final words from my visiting friend as we said goodbye have gnawed at me for the last couple of weeks. So I think it’s time to write something. It was a beautiful summer, ahhh summer, and I felt, above all, positive and hopeful….
I know I’ve been quiet. Too quiet. The truth is, there is so much I want to write about, so many things to share, but there is also a big scary thing that has kept me from being able to face my own keyboard. I don’t know how to talk about it, but it is…
I’ve been at our place in Italy for the last week under the pretense of bringing over some of our stuff. That had to be done, yes, but the real goal of the trip for me was getting the space to do some heart work. I hate that I need that space, but I do….

There is the side of ourselves we show freely to the world, and then there is the rest, the parts that make us who we really are. All the vulnerable, fascinating, complicated bits. These bits are the reason I still love humans when as a collective we pretty much suck. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, here…
Anyone in a long term marriage, or what ever form of commitment you practice, knows that relationships ride the waves. There are crests and valleys, some looming and treacherous, some a slow steady roll. My marriage that I treasure has had a particularly undulation filled few months. The sea we are navigating together has felt…
So, it happened again last week. Someone asking me if I’m pregnant when I’m not. How very easy it is to deflate an ego. I’ve been through it before, this mortification, but this time was extra special. I was working with someone I had hired to do a marketing related project for our business, a…
