Poem: Red

Red I look out my window just in time to see the woman walking the red dog. And think about my mom who likes to tell me about the duo in long winding circles of words. Does she love to see them because the red dog is the bright color her hair once was? Do…

Unexpected realities in 2020

I’ll never forget how disoriented I felt in 2013 when my now ex-husband moved to California temporarily for a job, even though I knew that we’d be visiting each other regularly. The day he left I had nearly finished putting on two completely different shoes when I realized what I was doing. That moment paled…

Sisters and unexpected blessings

When a family falls apart there are painful ripples but you can also find unexpected blessings in their wake. That’s the story of my half-sisters and I – we each grew up without a sister and we were excited to be sisters in adult life. I was a baby when my oldest sister Julie came…

Mom and Aging 2.0

I knew it would not be easy to accompany my mom on the journey of “getting old.” She has always been an ultra-independent person. When someone talks about a parent’s frequent requests for help, I can’t even imagine. My mom avoids asking me for help like the plague and seems to be enduring a form of…

Winter break joys

Today I stumbled on the Barnes & Noble at Furman. I was on a lovely walk through the campus and along the lake when I spied books in the window I was passing. My focus turned from enjoying the beautiful day and creatures along the lake to the alternate delight of the campus bookstore. As…

Making space for new beginnings

I intended to write this post yesterday when we announced the closing of our website Carolina Cycling News. I wanted the end of 2012 to be focused on good-bye’s and the start of 2013 to be focused on new things emerging in the space created by letting go. However, life doesn’t really divide up in…

Body Disconnect

When I first saw this scene with Robin Williams in the movie The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, I remember being irritated by it. They say you tend to be annoyed when you see in others the characteristics you don’t like in yourself. I later realized that I have that same attitude of wanting to be…

Joy riding

I have always loved riding my bike. When I was a kid I even went to a summer camp that spent the second week on a bike trip. When I was a transportation planning intern at the SoCal Assoc. of Governments, I rode my bike to the Long Beach Bikestation and then hopped on the…

Gratitude for time with my brother Burrell

As is more and more common, I come from a family with a complex web of relationships. Growing up I only met my half-brother Burrell once, on a trip South with my dad. The next time I saw him was with my half-sister, Vicki, on the day of Dad’s funeral last year. The weekend of…

Go in Peace

Today we released our beloved cat, Tao, from her suffering. We are grateful for the blessing she was in our lives for the short nine years she has been a part of our family. I post this prayer in honor of her passing and with the belief that she died in the embrace of our…

Does anyone else have a cat obsessed with spinach

Does anyone else have a cat obsessed with spinach leaves? He begs me to toss them to him every night! Runs off with one in his mouth like it's his prey 😹

The saying that hindsight is 20/20 keeps coming in

The saying that hindsight is 20/20 keeps coming into mind when I think of how my perspective has changed and how glad I am to say goodbye to last year. Although I'm not expecting 2021 to be great right out of the gate, I'm hopeful and ready for new beginnings! #topnine2020 #newyear

May the light of the season warm your heart that is weary or grieving from
a year of pandemic & politics.
Wishing you all joy in the New Year! These are some of the decorations my mom and I have been enjoying. She's quicker to take them down. I'll be keeping mine up until January 6th 😂🎄✨ #christmasspirit
