Ice cream in my hair kind of day

The healing power of talking to your older sister

Estranged father who was not even named in his son’s obituary now seeking his grave after 20 years

Frankly it’s monotonous, collecting these vignettes of pain and loss and grace. It’s like I’m numbering the hairs on a single head and I know I’ll never finish but I’m determined to keep counting Yes I know who has numbered the hairs on every head, and it’s astonishing !!!!!!

My beauty depends on the day, the angle of the sun, the humidity, the pollen count, the breeze, the moon, my mood, my haircut, my sense of humor, and most of all: the love in your heart- does it fill you all the way up to your eyes?
