Trust Us To Be Reliable Narrators
I so often love Brianne’s comments, questions, perspectives. And this one is particularly important. When my people *understand* what’s going on with me, that’s great! I feel seen, cared for, appreciative that they’ve taken the time to learn. But do you know what’s even more awesome? Having folks […]
Practice, Not Perfect
Meditation is saving my brain and my heart. I don’t remember when I first learned to meditate. I remember being required to sit every day for a period of three months back in about 2004.

I always count my books in the year I finish them, which is a little bit of a cheat, since I read the bulk of my first book this year in December. But, at least I’m […]
Favorite Reads of 2019
I set an ambitious book goal for the year. I did not come even close to achieving it. The most important thing to know about my reading experience, is that it based on a game I like to call “library roulette.” Almost all the books I read these days are electronic, and almost all of them come from the library. I read […]
