  • Trauma

    This morning my husband shared a beautiful story about a friend who is working on healing her trauma.  She took a trip to a nature preserve with her family.

  • Fall

    The geese have taken up residence by the house. They love to sit under the apple trees. Our dog is intent on chasing them so we keep him on a lead to give them space. They were under the front window this morning and we watched them pick at grass and seeds for breakfast. They…

  • Memories in Boxes

    Learning does not have to take place in a classroom. I like learning. I like people and I like working on creative projects with them. They keep me thinking, they challenge me. Sharing knowledge helps me grow. For the past seven years or so, my life has been a little chaotic at times. It’s been…
