Adventure + Kids?
Friends with kids are having major adventures around the world. But what about all the benefits to stability?
Following Your Passion
What is your passion? Is that an easy question for you to answer? Do you feel that everyone has a passion? What does it mean if you don't know what yours is? Or do you have the opposite problem—do you feel like you have so many pursuits that you feel lost? Austin blogger Jenni from… Continue reading Following Your Passion

The experience felt at a concert is a unique and rare joy.
Out with the Old, In with the Fried Eggs
An essay I wrote three years ago about how my search for my fixed, true identity may be an exercise in futility.
The Trouble(s) with Being Authentic
I feel a strong pull to be authentic to my true self, but I often end up going along with the crowd. It seems as though I'm caught between pain from being inauthentic, or pain from being different. But are these really my only two options?

But a canopy of yellow-green now lines the street to my daughter's school, so I too will start… Continue reading A Season of Doing Without

Inward to Outward, Earth to Sky
Tonight I sit to write, and yet I cannot. I wait, I am ready, but the words don't come. I want to write of what has come before, the moonlit labyrinth I have walked these past few months, but everything is labored. I look for inspiration from drafts started and unfinished waiting in my blog's… Continue reading Inward to Outward, Earth to Sky
Spring
I just got back from spending too much time, and even more money, at Central Market on my weekly grocery shopping trip.
