It's been years since I blogged about a health topic and I honestly thought those days were over, but... here I am. I originally planned to make this a Facebook post just to share with my friends, but I had too many links and too much to say, so I figured I'd make it a … Continue reading Should Mothers Consume the Placenta After Birth?
A Bookshelf that Inspires Joy: Using the KonMari Method to decide what books to keep
There was once a time when I collected books. I picked up books for cheap at library sales all the time and there was something about having a ton of books that appealed to me, whether or not I ever read them.

Life is Risk
This summer I've been doing a lot of gardening. I've bought lots of flowers and planted lots of seeds, and not all of these flowers and seeds have made it.

I recently stumbled into the Enneagram personality typing system and it's been incredibly eye-opening for me. These past several days I've been having some lightbulb moments and new insights into my life. The other day I briefly thought about my attraction of endless synchronicites. I was recalling the recent "banana pudding" synchronicity. About a week … Continue reading How banana pudding taught me that I am never alone
You left with the moon. What here remains? I both long for and hate the fact that I am still the same.
