Happy Valentine’s Day friends. Pardon the not so great photo but my day started in the best way with snuggles of the toddler and golden retriever kind. Finn has been waking up at 6:15-6:30a lately so I’ve been bringing him into bed with me to cuddle for 15-20 minutes before we head downstairs to start [...]

Resources for Compassion, Healing and Grace
November 8, 2018 { 7 comments }Waking up to news of another mass shooting in California right on the heels of the last one at a synagogue in Pennsylvania felt heavy.

Danny And Annie // Frog Pose 101
May 1, 2012 { 29 comments }Have you ever found yourself in your car…crying…alone? I’m definitely a car crier. There’s something about the solitude of driving and the feeling of not being in any one place that makes the tears come a little easier. Songs seem to magically have deeper meaning, the events of the day seem bigger than they really are and [...]
