    What I Am Reading 8/8/25

    I am on a spree with reading and it feels good. There has been a lot going on over the last couple of months, and I had to put reading on the back bench. I didn’t like it. It didn’t feel good. And I wanted to come back to it. And then I started getting…

    What I Am Reading 8/1/25

    It’s been an odd week, but odd in a good way. And of course that oddness included my reading. I think I was burnt out and didn’t recognize it until my daughter went to summer camp. All of a sudden I had time again. I had time to think and do. What did I do…

    What I Am Reading 7/25/25

    All of a sudden I got super busy, and some things had to go. But not reading. My daughter turned three! And she had the rockstar party of her dreams. Considering it was right around the Fourth of July, it felt like a good time to stop blogging for a second. I just didn’t realize…

    What I Am Reading 6/20/25

    I am back to reading at a terrific pace, and I’m so happy about that. There’s something horrible about not being able to do one of your favorite activities when you’re not feeling well. I just knew that if I kept pushing it that things would get better. But it didn’t. So I just kept…

    What I Am Reading 6/13/25

    Things have been pretty awful, and yet I’m still reading. I think that in dark places, the most rebellious thing you can do is create moments of joy. And maybe that’s where my focus has been lately. I’m building a fairy garden for my daughter. When the world feels bleak, I add to the fairy…

    What I Am Reading 6/6/25

    I have my mojo back, and I’m reading again. It seriously bummed me out that I just fell flat last month. I was starting to think it was going to be a rough climb out of it. But then, like a switch, things turned back on. And I’ve been chugging along ever since. My house…

    What I Am Reading 5/30/25

    It’s been a hot second and alas, I have not been reading much. I thought I’d gotten out of a depression episode. Instead, I was just managing to be high functioning. That worked super well for awhile. Things that I deemed important got done. But I wasn’t looking paying much attention to the things that…

    What I Am Reading 5/9/25

    After a busy April, I thought May would be easier. I was wrong, and I’m still struggling with reading. It’s fine. It just feels like everything is happening at once. Wouldn’t it be easier for it to happen one at time? Why doesn’t the world want to slow down? Why does it always seem to…

    What I Am Reading 4/25/25

    The past two weeks have just zoomed by, and this time, I really couldn’t keep reading at the same level as I usually do. I hosted a neighborhood Easter egg hunt at our local urban farm. After tons of work, thirty-five kids had so much fun. And frankly, I had the best time ever being…

    What I Am Reading 4/11/25

    I didn’t realize how nervous I was for my race last weekend until things got really hard. And yes, that included reading. I doubled down by having both me and my daughter on the same day, just fifteen minutes apart. For her, it was her longest race ever. At two and a half years old,…
