Past and Present

I haven't been able to write as frequently as I would like. The concussion, in addition to my computer being really finnicky and breaking several times in the past couple of months, has me throwing my hands up about it most of the time. But, I realized earlier today...

Article

I'm working on an entry, but it's been hard to write lately. Bruised brain and such little quiet time and all. I wrote an article for a local gardening newsletter, and I thought in the meantime I could share that. 

November is here.

Lots going on around here. I'm healing and feeling better every day. I have a lot of compassion now for people with head injuries of any kind… it can feel so complicated and frustrating. Thankfully, I feel no worse for the wear. I'm feeling almost back to my old...

Can I just talk about food?

It's so good around here lately- it's bordering on a religious experience for me. Seriously. So much of why I do what I do and why I believe what I believe is all about FOOD. This is not a surprise to many of you, but it occasionally creeps up...

Little update

It's been a lovely and big kind of week for us. Last Monday Jeff and I celebrated our *seventh* wedding anniversary. I can't tell you how much I love him and am grateful to have him as my partner. I also feel aware just in the past year how...

Vacation, and my 28th trip around the sun.

Well, the stars have been aligned just-so lately. Or that's what I've been reading anyway, and most of the people I talk to seem to be feeling similarly. It's a time in my life that feels very… tumultuous. I'm learning a lot. There are many unknowns, lots of messes...
