Seasons: Feeling everything in 2020

I have been writing the words for this post in my mind now for weeks, maybe even months. Thoughts have been bubbling up, spilling over, fumbling over my tongue like a baby's first words. Finally, this morning, the thoughts came in a wave -- a crescendo. It's finally time to share. I've been struggling to …

Write Now: I Trust In Myself

I've been writing my way through life since I first learned how to hold a pencil. I've nearly written it all -- I've captured storybook fantasies in elementary school, responded to prompts for appraisal in middle school, reported in-depth articles, published my own poetry books, and slogged pages of research reports for my undergraduate education. …

Remember who you are

There's a lot of new things going on in my life, lately. New apartment furniture. New job. New work clothes. A (relatively) new companion in life. A new watch on my wrist. A new purse to carry all of my new credit cards (now that credit scores seem to matter...). New favorite places to eat …

Coming Back Home

I've spent the last 12 months living in or within 3 miles of my childhood home. After rocketing back from a summer in southern Arizona, Singapore and San Francisco -- and a full, final semester at OU -- I was finally ready for a change of pace from the hectic, travel-filled sprint my life had …
