In Which I Muse About Assurance
Assurance could look like a signed contract. It might be in the number of place value holders stamped on our bank statement. Assurance may feel like meal plans or lesson plans, vacation plans or run-away-from-Nineveh-plans. Assurance sometimes disdainfully and smugly plants itself in the territory of how-right-I-am. Perhaps assurance comes in the form of a […]
A Simple Tuesday in 2020
On a simple Tuesday morning, in the midst of August, in the year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty… I’m anticipating… • that life will not always be as it is today. In an upheaval and uncertainty of days. In a madness of strong opinions and fears on either end of the pendulum. In […]

One More Good Day
At the beginning of the year I subscribed to receive a thoughtful quote each week from Erin Loechner. Each quote would act as a springboard for journaling prompts, circumspection and reflection, and responses to consider. These emails slipping into my inbox every Monday morning have been a highlight of 2020 for me. I print them out […]
