  • On Enough

    The cream almost empty, but the jiggling of the carton proves enough for morning coffee. The broken shoelace, but if removed from one eyelet, enough to tie for a run before buying new. The market flowers lovely, but the wild ones by the side of the road fill my pitcher. The tiny hole in the […]

  • Voting for Love

      I love so much, so many things about this country. (Cue Lee Greenwood:)). I looked out the window while at work today.  Bees and butterflies – they were everywhere – pollinating the flowers and vegetables in my garden.  I love having fresh vegetables and fruit and am so grateful we have them.  I know […]

  • Nervous Breakdown

    So running a business isn’t easy. In fact, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I mean, second to raising kids.  But now that my littles aren’t so little anymore and can do some things around the house for themselves, like make themselves lunch (consisting of fruit snacks and butter knives dipped in Nutella), running […]

    A Reason Why

    The coops were dry, and the girls have learned that the waterers don’t fill themselves. The rain beginning to fall, the work continuing until it’s finished. Filling the five gallon bucket so the chickens have plenty of water for some time, it can be a challenge for an 11-year-old body to carry it back to the coop. […]

  • It’s All An Illusion

        I’m so over it. Words. That is all they are, really. They are just words.  Not who we are. When it comes down to it, we are just a bunch of elements swirling around together to form these vessels our souls occupy. Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen. We hear the words, read the words in the […]

  • For The Women Who Did Not Have Breakfast In Bed Today

    It’s never been said it was easy. This beautifully hard work of being a mother. This one day a year when partners and children say thank you, we love you – the day being shown how much you are appreciated. Unless it’s not. It’s never been said it was easy. And today could be the […]

  • Bars and Numbers

      She pulls her folder out of her backpack, and then the white envelope, placing it on the kitchen counter. I see the look in her eyes. Nervousness.  Anticipation. I look at her, a reassuring smile. We see the black bars of progress, showing where she is, where she should be, what should be accomplished […]

  • It’s in Our Minds…

    With the help of friends and our imagination, we can go anywhere we want to go. One of my favorites. Light and Love, Seja

  • Even Neil Would Like This Version…

    Ahh, spring.  So close yet still so far away –  us Midwesterners still flocking south for a taste of it before it is here in all of its warm, glow-y love. Here is a beginning of spring, sun-shining, top-down-if-you-have-a convertible song – a remake of Harvest Moon. As Joe says, even Neil would like this […]

  • Still Learning

    Throw the covers off.  It is morning. Feet touching the warm carpet.  Stretch from your tippy toes to your fingernails, feel your heart beat.  Gratitude for a new day. Put on clean socks, try to find ones that match.  Unless the ones that don’t match make you happy, then wear what the hell you like. […]
