Confession: I reactivated my Facebook account. I know. I know I know I know I know I know. I know. How did such a thing occur? Well. I hopped back on Facebook around the time the seasons were transforming from frigid temperatures to blooming trees. It all started with insomnia and lots and lots of…

Shit's been heavy, hasn't it? I mean not just from a personal standpoint, but from like, a global one. It is not enough that we have been battling pandemics and politics for the last two years but throw in war and mass shootings and it is pretty fucking easy to get swallowed up whole in…

You know what, I haven't had a reason to take a selfie since I stopped posting on social media. But I'm taking one today because I’m having a good hair day and what better reason to shoot a selfie than when you’re experiencing your best self. Anyway, today I’m thinking about the fact that I'm…

This week's re-run includes an old school family pic circa 2019, B.C. (before Corona) because why not? We are even more "there" than we were when I wrote this in November 2019 and here are a few updates: Since then my youngest child is now six years old, all of said children are in school…
