Now. Here. This.

Well, it was a year, all right. Like most of us, there have been better, and there have been worse. This year, though, I promised to be IN IT. To not be leveled by the hits that seem to just keep coming, to rally, speak truth into action, show up…

A Mighty Front Porch

My own faith journey is messy, complicated, a work-in-progress. But it does exist, it is unfolding. Not long ago, I heard that old stalwart hymn, “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” reframed to include thinking of God as a place of protection and shelter rather than an actual ‘fortress’. Not…

Peace through Mis En Place

Most of us cook because we have to feed the people in our house, or just ourselves. There is a love/hate synergy with cooking, and if you are Team H, well, the advent of food delivery apps was probably a gamechanger for you. For those of us on the Love…

Royally Connected

While not a royal-watcher in the truest sense, hell yes, I watched most of the major celebrations and life passages of the British monarchy, and many of these moments were spent alongside my dear friend, Kirsten, giving commentary and opinions and predictions. So much news coverage of funerals and weddings…

Team Sandy.

Olivia Newton-John has been quietly sitting on my Hero list for some time. She changed a lot of things for a lot of women. Not just for the prim, nerdy high school girls who flocked to “Grease” in theaters in the late ‘70’s — maybe seeing it more times than…

Not Cool With It

Gen-Z is front and center, what with their middle pocket graduating high school in these next weeks. Gen-Z is often defined as those born between 1997 and 2012. I’m a parent on the far end of that group, and I work in a university surrounded every single day with the…

Zero to Sixty

One take on the age-old question of how-old-are-you: give your age with the year you were born and let others do the math. For me, this last week marks the end of one decade and the start of another, and all the baggage and reflection and promise and astonishment that…

Help the People Help the People

You think it’s difficult to access, but it’s not, I promise you. That last shred of reserves, for empathy, for kindness, for being a decent human being, is still within reach. Here’s a little how-to on why helping others matters, and why guiding students to care out loud is rewarding…

Ethos As Your Valentine

If you are not one for the manufactured love-fest that is mid-February, come sit over here. Same. These heart-shaped days can be formidable for many. …

Speed of the Sound of Resilience

Done. If someone asks what my ‘word’ is for 2022: Done. Done quietly missing people, and opportunities. Done pretending things are sort-of-okay. Done suffering anyone gladly. Done trying to normalize the idea of ‘unprecedented’ (hello, ‘normal’ is the actual antonym here). …
