Realistic Morning Routine.
In this entry I tell you what is most important to me when getting ready in the morning.
The Holiday or My Favorite Poem
A poem I wrote during my first pregnancy was inspired by a summer trip I took to Europe during my early 20s, where I met W.S. Merwin’s sister on a plane while reading Alicia Ostricker’s poems. When I returned, I met my husband.
Rediscovering Humanity in a Digital World.
In a world that is increasingly becoming more digitized, it can at times feel impossible to find real human connection.
Mothers Are Mirrors.
My experience as a woman oscillates between confidence and self-doubt.
The Power of Meditation.
Before leaving for Europe, my mom told me she learned about a meditation practice on the Howard Stern show that he and other celebrities used to cope with stress and anxiety.
The Big Tree and The Flood
A poem inspired by my early 20s, Columbia, Missouri, and my daughter.
