This post is part of a series from the hope*writers New Year Writing Challenge. Here is my post from day 6: Brave. When I think about moments of bravery that I have encountered in my life, there doesn’t seem to be a big preamble or defining moment.

{Slow}
This post is part of a series from the hope*writers New Year Writing Challenge. Here is my post from day 5: Slow. Slow. Slow down. Don’t be in a hurry. Go slower than you think. Around here, when the world turns white, it’s a reminder to slow down. Everything stills. The quiet of snow remindsContinue reading “{Slow}”
{Dream}
This post is part of a series from the hope*writers New Year Writing Challenge. Here is my post from day 4: Dream. Dreams are funny, funny things.

2020 Word of the Year
If you’re new around here, you probably don’t know that this is only my 3rd year doing the whole “word of the year” thing. I wasn’t sure I was going to share mine this year. Honestly, I’m still not sure I’m really comfortable sharing my word for 2020. I resisted this word for a awhile,Continue reading “2020 Word of the Year”
{Life in October}
Happy October, dear readers! I know, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a blog post. Somehow I always delude myself into thinking that summer will bring soooo much time for writing, and then *snap* it’s gone. Summer 2019 was interesting. Without diving into detail, it was bookended by by turmoil, frustration, and painContinue reading “{Life in October}”
