Happy Sunday! Today was a day mostly at home…as most days are anymore. It ended with an impromptu gathering with neighbors in our driveway with wine at twilight, surrounded by droves of happy kids, in masks, playing football and wiffle ball and riding bikes and scooters, which then, as evening fell, turned into a hunt for fireflies, glow in the… Read More
Seeking Moments Day 16 of 30: Long Walks With Old Friends
Just a simple moment of gratitude for carving out the time to walk in the sunshine on this perfect-temperature day, 8.5 miles, twice around a familiar loop, with a dear old friend who I haven’t connected with in some time. We went deep, we said all the things, we laughed, we cried, we walked and we talked and we walked… Read More
Seeking Moments Challenge Day 15 of 30: 9/11/20
9/11/20. Today is a hard day. Nineteen years ago, there was unspeakable, horrific, gut-wrenching loss. We watched tragedy after tragedy after tragedy after tragedy as planes hit and crashed over and over again, in short order, within minutes, in multiple states. Sorrows born on that day have grown and ached and stretched and twisted and waxed and waned a million times and… Read More

On a break from remote schooling, some of our neighbor besties were outside together at the same time during their lunch break today. In an instant, I realized that they haven’t all been in our back yard since last fall, since it was cold… Read More
Seeking Moments Challenge Day 12 of 30: Gratitude for a Resumption of Routine
My morning began when the birds started chirping. Up with the sun, I tiptoed down in the dark, neck stiff, eyes tired, yoga mat under my arm. I began the day with some movement and meditation before we began our “back to school” morning. My 5th grader joined me for 10 minutes of mindful movement without a question or fuss… Read More
Seeking Moments Challenge Day 11 of 30: Everything Changes
Well, I had written a little reflection on the end of summer, the importance of family, and a memory from our wedding day where my then-new husband and I were told by an older couple how lucky we were…how everything lied before us, how our story was just at the beginning and how all things remained to be seen. It… Read More
