I want to focus for a minute. I have been reading a lot and gathering but don’t know how to put it into words yet. Daily I have been trying to pull my mind together and do some serious deep breathing. People are suffering; the country is suffering. I read yesterday that 32% of households […]

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. They dance, burst, take to the streets. The two; the two squint, meet, eyes – open arms out, like a dream not yet. […]
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 […]
Break time

I came home today after work, after driving through rain pouring into the streets, watching the rain beads stomping their feet. I had to pull over as I couldn’t barely see. I watched the massive pools of water form and heard the smack of hale hit my car and bounce on the street. I did […]
Buckets #2 – recipe
I have been thinking about this book – The Deficit Myth in all the ways in which we have been told, mostly through politicians; and all the ways in which we have been told falsely. Taught falsely, believed falsely. I am not going to be able to extrapolate every marked point in this book. But I want […]
Bucket #1
I came upon this author from a podcast – will post below. A super interesting woman, quite brilliant. I decided I must get her book. As I was reading some of it last night, I had a hunch. I checked out the New York Times bestseller list and there it was number 13. Since I […]
Stepping in
I want to take a moment and say thank you. I am so happy to be back at work. I am so happy to see my friends are okay. I am so happy to be doing what I have been trained to do for the last 17 years. My body is probably in a little […]
Hearts ease
I don’t know if I ever told you but I wasn’t much of a reader growing up. I wasn’t much of a reader in my teens. I had this inability to sit still. I think I had a fair amount of anxiety and uneasiness swimming around in my body and mind. Then a slow shift […]
How to answer –
My heart is heartbroken. My heart is heartbroken for George Floyd’s family. My heart is broken for my city, Minneapolis, the city I love. The city where I call home and where my dear friends and family live. This isn’t a usual post for me, but the images, the sounds, and the messages I have […]
