On Failure
So I’ve been thinking a lot about failure lately. About how it builds resilience and how good it is for human growth. And how most adults try to avoid it like the plague.

Today I am feeling good that Kamala Harris is our next Vice President. It makes me really, really happy. She is a strong woman and I truly believe that our country needs strong women in leadership right now. Strong backs, soft fronts, wild hearts.

A Spider in the Room
Last night after I asked my son to get into his pajamas, he called out to let me know that there was a spider in his room. I was in the middle of washing a dish, so I finished up before going to investigate.

In between times
I used to enjoy in between times. Seek them out even. These days are a drag. A never ending drag. It is so much easier to be allowed to focus on one thing. If I could figure out a lifestyle that allowed me to homeschool my child, I would never do it the way the…

Why I’m not at work today
Short answer – mental health and self love Longer answer – I need to take a day off and show myself some quiet love to be a healthier person. The fact that I feel the need to justify it, is part of the problem.
