THAT is a title I never thought I’d scribe. I don’t care for the cold. But I fell in love with a guy from the sub-zero plains of South Dakota, and though he had no desire to return there after college, it seems 21+ years into our marriage, we are here, with the kids, and […]
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved gathering girls/women together to hear their stories. To listen to the heart of another woman is a privilege and honor, truly a sacred encounter. This is something about which I am so passionate, I’ve spent the last several years studying, and trying to put into practice, […]
My personal mission statement includes “peacemaking” and “bridge-building,” as does the mission statement of my non-profit organization, Bevy.

Ever heard the song by the Oh Hellos, “Second Child, Restless Child?” Here are the lyrics so you’ll understand me a little more, or at least this post a bit… See, i was born the second child With a spirit running wild, running free And they saw trouble in my eyes They were quick to […]
Actually, it was two nights ago…I became a vegetarian, more specifically a vegan. It worked great because I didn’t have any snacks before bed, just tea. Easy peasy. Then my veganism took a turn for ovo-lacto when I had a fried egg with my dinner and took a bite out of my kid’s cheese. […]
