Y’all, I’m so happy to share that – after several busy weeks and months – we have a manuscript completed for my book. I am so excited – and exhausted as well. 😂 Here in the Hippie Hut, we’ve had a storm system come through that took us from 80 degrees yesterday to literally snowing… Read more

First, Happy 2026, y’all. I hope you all had a safe and lovely new year holiday. We were blessed to visit Mom and Pop on New Year’s Day and we also stopped by to see our precious GJ on her birthday as well. As we got home New Year’s night, I was not feeling my… Read more

In these days, with one of our dearest terribly ill, time feels suspended. Sitting on the other side of the clipboard as a loved one this time, I know what to expect – but I cannot help and I worry and ache deeply for all our family walking through this. My body is reacting intensely… Read more

I have recommended Nina Rigg’s gorgeous memoir The Bright Hour: A Memoir of Living and Dying more times than I can count, in person, in blog posts, in articles – and most certainly will again – and, this week, I have been listening to it again on audio as the world has felt crashing around us… Read more
