Lessons From FurButt
You are the best Mama ever and I will lick your face to prove it. Gia Augustine-Glasier I could write a blog post about FurButt every single day. There’s always something that she’s teaching me.

Well it seems to me that you’re a little off… it seems to me that we have no ordinary spider. Mrs. Zuckerman, Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White I loved this book when I was a kid.

One thingContinue reading “Never Say Never”

Healing asks, “will you stop struggling? Are you open to enjoying life more, enduring life less?” I’m moving to a new office. Again. It’s been a process over the last few years and, frankly, I’m pretty pooped. Find a new space, set it all up, try it out, pack it up, try again. Sigh. It’sContinue reading “No Longer And Not Yet”
