Be Immortal
In the beginning, there was a dream. Just a small dream. A dream of making a difference, making a change, making a small place for myself in the world. I was small, barely school-aged, and when I closed my eyes to sleep I dreamed about changing the world. I dreamed about traveling to the farthest [...]
First World Problems
I’ve been struggling a lot lately with the concept of putting one foot in front of the other. I know it’s what I’m supposed to be doing. I know that I’m supposed to be the grown-up, supposed to get dressed and go to work every day, supposed to keep everything running smoothly. But it’s hard [...]

Doctors should operate more like HVAC mechanics. When I call to get my air conditioner fixed and they come out to fix it and then it breaks again within 24 hours, they don’t charge me to fix it again. (I should note that I have a home warranty and perhaps that’s why they don’t charge [...]

Rambling On and On (and on…)
This weekend marked the end of a mini-era. On Saturday morning I packed up tiny shirts and pants, a bouncy seat, a jumperoo, a bazillion and three swaddle blankets, two tiny pair of shoes, a coat that looks like a teddy bear, and three play mats for infants. I packed them up in several big [...]
