Moving Through Grief

The fog is lifting. I was a little worried. It’s very rare that I find myself devoid of words, paralyzed, unable to write. But last week, grief came knocking. I wasn’t surprised. Just a little curious that none of my strategies, tools or tactics were working. Nothing in my toolkit could lift the all-encompassing sorrow

There is Spaciousness in the Gray

There is Spaciousness in the Gray A Love Letter to my Beloved Clients (and to a younger me) Good Morning Beautiful, Yes you. Even during the holiday season, eating all the foods on your “mustn’t eat” list. Guess what? Black and white eating (and thinking) doesn’t serve you, anymore. There is spaciousness in the gray.

Happy Birthday, Dad. . .

Dear Dad, Happy birthday! You’re ninety one. It’s been a touch-and-go year. I’m so glad you decided to stick around a little longer.

It’s September. It’s been a while since I prepared my classroom for the frolicking first graders who scurried into my room clamoring for my attention, with enthusiasm and energy and pure, unbridled  joy. I miss them. I miss framing their artwork and tracing their letters so that we could marvel at the script of a

A Little Bit Less

My favorite conscious bites concept is: KISS, keep it simple sweetheart. That’s what I’m practicing this month and I am surprised at how easily I do that in the kitchen and how UNeasy is this “August Break” exercise I’ve embarked on. According to Susannah Conway, August Break is “a sweet no-rules community project that involves
