I’m not sure where we were living, probably the projects in San Pedro… or if I was two or three… but I see a dark hallway with steps. This memory came to me the way so many of my family

Turns out, the memoir has been written

Awhile back I started writing memoir pieces, mostly in response to some suggesting I do, and also because I’m a Gemini who likes to communicate :) But I often feel fairly conflicted about it Mostly because I resist this industry

It’s all about relationship

This past week we took our eldest to university. All summer and especially this last month, he has been so sweetly intentional about spending time with us. When we were traveling in Mexico, he kept remarking on how he likes

I’ve been pondering our trip to the Yucatan and the ruins there, including Chichen Itza. It is so complex, I am still unpacking it all. One thing I realized is that I always lead with my concerns about inequity. Seeing
