I am finally starting to look pregnant...at least to myself and those closest to me. To most others I probably look like I have a tiny pot belly---my favorite phase. Acquaintances still arent comfort...
A few years ago, before I was a mother, Eric and I were living in Denver. I happened to find a vegan meet up group who was planning a potluck. Eric and I were eager to make some new friends and vegan...

What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed.~Michelangelo
I dont know about you, but this is the time of year when I start to think a lot about flowers and gardens and the smell of wet dirt. Winter still powers on for at least another month or two. So one o...

I am not the kind of person who likes to eat the same thing for breakfast day in and day out. I like to mix it up! Today I looked at the cereal and couldnt muster up any interest. So, I decided that ...
A few weeks ago I was wondering how people get to spend much time outside in the winter. I longed to spend some time in the snow with my girl, playing and exploring. For some reason I couldnt underst...

Last night was my first lecture of the semester. I did my usual introduction which is comprised of equal parts serious scholarship, general awkwardness and humor. We covered the earliest human art la...
I seem to have inadvertently developed something of a personal mantra. I am not sure how or when it started, but I find myself repeating the mantra "make something every day." I wake up and f...
Earlier this week I was invited to partake in a worldwide event wherein participants left encouraging (and anonymous) notes for strangers to stumble upon. I decided to join in and instead of leaving ...

We awoke to a cold and wintry Wyoming morning. Eric has the day off so we are able to take our time a bit. So, I thought a good breakfast of pancakes would get us off on the right foot. So, Cordelia ...
Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality. ~Andy Goldsworthy
