Today I learned something new, and a little surprised I did not know this story or Doris. I believe reminiscent and/or reverent about many moms out there – Please watch: “How unacceptable. We have to go to work.” I love how she nods and shakes her head subtly and yet almost to say, “This […]

Hold my Hand
Last year two phenomenal young women visited our class. Two Dreamers, DACA recipients. Who are the Dreamers? Children of immigrants brought to America as children, “While their parents either came to the U.S. unlawfully or overstayed their visas, these kids usually had no choice but to come with their parents.” – Worldrelief.org DACA – is […]
Pages
Pages. I need to be writing pages. My professor said to keep writing and then he said, “Write pages.” He asked how long I had been writing and I said for a while. It’s hard to pin it down. I told him I write a blog, as I know many people do. It’s practice. He […]

Before the moment –
Sitting, watching, clouds crush, spring open, dashing rain beads fall from overhead. Fast like light. Their image breaks open once the sunlight hits – Waves of pink, blue, purple all a glow.

You
Do you hear the swoon of people cheering you on? I do. We have been working for hours and years and finally, gratitude for all of it is showing face. We are here. Who the hell knew we would be here? And for CFers, we are slowly looking like normal people, with color in our […]
