Oh Babies!
Hanging out with newborns is a great way to slow down, do the basics, and pay attention to what’s important. In this case, to appreciate how precious life is. Other important things: diapers, laundry, food, sleep—and maybe a bit of humor.
New Lives
Our middle kid gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl—on January 27, 2026. And I’m thinking nothing will ever be the same again.
Finding a New Normal
The more we find ease and grace, the more we let go of unnecessary striving, the more we create a new normal—a new normal that we can come back to again and again.
Learning and Improv
Apparently, I’m an information gatherer. Surely there’s someone out there, who’s figured this out—who knows the very best way to do it. I better search for that best approach.
Hello Goodbye Hello
We don’t always do all the right things. But, even when we do, bad, painful stuff happens. And good stuff too.
St. Distaff’s Day
I can feel myself leaning towards spending more time with fellow humans—friends old and new—in real life. And maybe making more stuff.
The Liveliness of It All
The longer I’m here on the planet, the more I appreciate that life is what it is. It seems like a good idea to acknowledge the painful parts—to face them as directly as we can. And also to take as much delight as we can in the liveliness of it all.
Happy Holidays
Whatever you celebrate this time of year, here’s hoping that you have many happy, peaceful moments. May you enjoy community, laughter, and fun.
Dark and Light
There’s a lot of darkness in our world. Pain, suffering, wrong-doing. We need the counterbalance of light.
Plaaay Ball!
And enjoy the little things—twinkle lights, moonlight, jingle bells, even finding just the right gift for someone special.
