Let It Go. It’s All Right.

I'm driving down a road I've never been on, sun streaming in, music on the radio. I've run away again. *** For the last few weeks I've been carrying the pain of this in my gut.

Grace Under Fire

“Give yourself some grace.” This is a phrase I've heard often lately. “You've had a rough few months.” “You're going through a lot.” “Don't beat yourself up about it.” I'm eating way too much ice cream. “You've had a rough

Lost: One Happy Place

Twice in the last two days, completely unprompted and in totally separate conversations, two friends have mentioned that being near the ocean is their happy place.

The Line

I have (very) recently entered a new phase in my life. It feels like I am standing on a beach and I turn around to find that someone has drawn a line in the sand right behind me, and that side of the line represents before and this side of the line repres

Hello, Inspiration {4}: It’s a Breeze

I'm not big on resolutions, but I am big on opportunities for self-renewal. January is peak self-renewal time for me and this year I took extra advantage of it. By the end of last year, after an illness-plagued fall, I was feeling rough. I hadn't be

Hello, Inspiration

I looked at my WordPress year in review and it told me I had 30 new posts in 2014. Thirty. 30. That seemed a ridiculously low number to me until I realized it was less than one a week and then, frankly, it seemed high. I really didn't write a lot last

Travel, Fundraising & Getting Old

I suddenly feel old. Maybe it's because I've been sick for 6 weeks. (Have you had pleurisy? Oh lordy, that hurts.) Maybe it's because I was recently in 6 time zones in a three-week period

Robin Williams, Suicide and the Effect on Others

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the few days I spent in my friend's basement suite in April 2011. I don't know why that time keeps coming to mind, but I think about it as I walk up the stairs, as I sit at my desk at work, when I walk the dog.

The World Reacts To Robin Williams’ Apparent Suicide

Mrs. Doubtfire. Aladdin. Jumanji. Hook. Good Will Hunting. Dead Poets Society. The list just goes on and on. The brilliant man that was behind all these movies and so many more, is now gone.

RIP Robin Williams

I generally write my blog posts in my head, as I'm biking home or stuck in traffic in my car. Tonight, I was writing about Will's new obsession with movies. How much I love it. Like it makes me happy...

What If You’re Not Better?

I'm responsible for content on Postpartum Progress this week and I've shared a post to follow all the celebrations from last week: What if you're not better?

Alone in a room in a friend's house in a city that is not my own (anymore), I listen. The house sounds quiet and I think maybe no one else is home.

In Transit

Right now I'm sitting in the observation deck at the Minneapolis airport, a peaceful room with only classical music as the backdrop for the view of the runways. I look out at the planes sitting at the gates

A Winter Rant

This is a rant. Just so you're warned. I love winter. 90% of the time, anyway. But lately winter is just messy. We had some really cold weather and a ton of snow in December (more in that one month than in an average January, February, and March

Missing: Inspiration

The new year is normally soaked with inspiration for me, like a path laid down just waiting for me to walk it. I never quite found that path this year. I looked for it. I waited. I read the usual things and saw the usual references to potential

Now You Are One

Dear Ethan, a year ago today, just before we left for the hospital and about three hours before you were born, it snowed. It was the first snow of the year and it came down lightly
