I have said “goodbye” and “see you later” and hugged many people tight many times in the past eight months, with more that happened this month. I’ve been mentally preparing to goodbye to some favorite humans officially since last fall, all of us thinking we’d have a year left—I started thinking of lasts and presents … Continue reading Fare Thee Well, Ogres*

Confidence Lately
Noticing what confidence looks like in my life lately through this month's blog hop theme.
Marking Time
"I hold on to dates like others hold onto pictures and ticket stubs and brochures. I hold onto those too, but dates mean something entirely different for me. I remember the dates of important conversations, when I started counseling, birthdays, anniversaries. It's a common phrase in our household for me to start a conversation with, 'Oh!

Here's my current review of it: just go read it). And Anthony and I decided I needed to … Continue reading WARNING: Don’t Do Life Solo!

Two living, breathing, attainable goals. ("Intentionality, people!") But there comes a time when I've planned too much and made too many lists and taken too many notes, sat through too many classes, live events, and webinars..."
