IMPORTANT UPDATE
As of April 2024, my blog has moved over to Substack where I’m co-hosting A Tender Space (together with my business partner at Centre for Holding Space). You can find my new writing plus podcast episodes there, or sign up below to get them in your inbox.
Here’s some of my earlier writing…
Thirteen things I’d like to know
1. Do we REALLY have a right to hear Alec Baldwin's private conversation with his daughter, even if it IS shameful?2. How do we as parents guard against this kind of icky materialism? What do I do with an eleven year old who BEGS to go to the mall because all of her...
The scarf has arrived
Marnie, I must have subconsciously known that your package would arrive today, because I colour-coordinated my clothes this morning in anticipation. PLUS I died my hair a lovely complimentary shade of red. I am NOTHING if not committed to my blog friends (and their...
Feels like a lucky day
After a fun, spur-of-the-moment overnight trip here with some good friends for some of this... and some of this... I went thrift-store shopping for some of this... and picked up a Spring wardrobe of nearly new clothes (3 shirts, 3 skirts, and one pair of pants) for...

Yay!
Ladybugs on the lawnPale green iris shoots poking through the dirtBreezes lifting kites in the airSoccer balls bouncing off the fenceChildren drinking Slurpees on the front lawnShrimp skewers on the barbecueThe old familiar feeling of bike pedals under my feetSpring...
Thinking, thinking, thinking…
Vicki and Robyn recently nominated me for the "Thinking Blogger" award, and I'm flattered. Truly I am. Sometimes I feel like Sally Fields accepting the Oscar - "You like me! You really like me!" (I do that almost every time I get a few comments too - it still...
