The Pang (The Edge of Knowing)

Sep 17, 2016 | Life

I’ve moved a number of times in my life. Every time I go through the same dance: sorting, sifting, culling, deciding what to toss and what to keep. Schlepping many mountains of stuff across airplanes makes you intentional about what you keep, and what you don’t. Is...

Focus On What You Can Do

Aug 9, 2016 | Health and Wellness

Being a new mom is suddenly, urgently grounding. It’s hard to leave the house because, well, there’s a baby right there. He needs me. Unless I get a babysitter, daycare, or my husband is home, I’m here, and it’s me and the baby. This makes so...
