I set it as low as I need to go so that I can meet it every day. My highest has been 500. My lowest so far is 150. On good days, I exceed the quota, sometimes wildly, but on bad days, I claw my way through and call it good. And every once in a while, I just get tired of it all and so I stop for a while and do something else: read, knit, etc. Whenever I finish a draft, I am always convinced that I will never write anything ever again.

It Takes a Village to Make a Bully

Bullying existed long before this election. Montana, my state, has routinely had the (dis)honor of being among the top five states for most bullying in schools. Now, with a president whose behavior and words embolden bullies, it is far worse. I wrote this essay five years ago. Since then, the piece has morphed into several  shorter essays and a full manuscript. I am sharing it here in its long-

“This book seeks to remove the obstacles that prevent you from clearly knowing yourself and your children. You will still have to walk the path yourself. It is your journey after all. Just remember: you are already enough.”
Lea Page, Parenting in the Here and Now: Realizing the Strengths You Already Have

“When I rise up
let me rise up joyful
like a bird.

When I fall
let me fall without regret
like a leaf.”
Wendell Berry, The Mad Farmer Poems
