The Lily
The Lily Night after night darkness enters the face of the lily which, lightly, closes its five walls around itself, and its purse of honey, and its fragrance, and is content to stand there in the garden, not quite sleeping, and, maybe, saying in lily language some small words we can’t hear even when there […]

From Full-Time Mom To Full-Time Me?
From Full-Time Mom To Full-Time Me? Happy times in my happy place. That’s all I could think of to caption my Instagram posts for the ten days that my family of four was sleeping under the same roof. That, and #ilovemykids. And #summertime, and #tahoelife. The last ten days have been the best out of […]

I Love My Ordinary Life
Yes, I love my ordinary life. I’m fortunate, I realize, to have the opportunity to travel and see extraordinary places and meet people from all over the world.

BlogHer 16 – A Photo Story From Los Angeles
Last week I pushed myself out of my introverted comfort zone and went to BlogHer 16 in Los Angeles. It’s not easy for me to go to a huge conference, share a room with women I don’t know, and spend four days surrounded by thousands of people with very little alone time; you can imagine […]

Introverts, Surround Yourself With Love
To be honest, I’m a classic introvert. On any magazine – er, online – quiz, I score shockingly high in everything introverted. I regroup best when I’m alone. I’m most often found at home, or wandering around alone in bookstores or libraries. I love long walks alone or with one other person. I delight in […]

The Teacher’s Summer To-Do List
Some people think teachers like me shouldn’t complain. They think that summers off mean three months of party time, ninety days of freedom to lie around and do absolutely nothing. Someone, please show me that teacher. The teachers I know definitely earn their summer ‘vacation’. If you think about it, most teachers work so much […]

You Should Go Home To Yourself
“You should go home to your hermitage; it is inside you. Close the doors, light the fire, and make it cozy again. That is what I call ‘taking refuge in the island of self.’ If you don’t go home to yourself, you continue to lose yourself. You destroy yourself and you destroy people around you, even […]
