It was beginning to look like I couldn’t participate in the Run for Children’s race today. Bryan had to be at an all day video shoot, which left me and the kids alone, and they’re too big to push in a stroller. I thought of getting a babysitter, but quickly realized our one car would [...]

I’m just going to come out and say it: My friend needs a new computer, and I’m asking you to help me get her one. (Whew – that felt good. I’ve been trying to ask you this for several weeks now, and I’ve just had tremendous writer’s block). You may remember I’ve talked about friends [...]

When the surgeons hooked up her new heart and took her off the blood bypass, it began beating spontaneously! It is still completely amazing to me [...]

Zoe was born on Sunday, a day earlier than expected. This brought the drama of a little panic and rushing, but in some ways I think this was better than the anxiety of waiting. She came into this world as healthy and as strong as our wishes and prayers had hoped for, needing no assistance [...]

The church I attend encourages congregational participation in the worship experience by providing opportunities for our congregants to share original poetry, responsive readings, essays, and personal stories during the course of the service. You’ve seen some of my projects, but I wanted to share another. This past Sunday a friend shared her story of faith [...]
Be warned: what you see here is not my best work. It is what Anne Lamott describes in Bird By Bird as a series of “shitty first drafts.” Blogging dragged me kicking and screaming out of creative constipation by getting me to actually write.
