Project 333 and Me
I think I’m going to do this. I’ve been looking at my house the way a mama cat looks at her young over the last two months- ready to pounce and clean the crap out of it, whether they want it or not. Part of this is my latest fascination with minimalism. An old idea…

Family friend
Although technically a short week, it feels like one of the longest on record. That tends to happen when Monday is a holiday. It’s as though by taking out one day, the rest of the week decides to cram all of the work into the days remaining. So while Monday was off, I spent most…

In a way, it did, or would have except of course I forgot that Monday itself would likely continue to be busy. Although the lunches were…

Disquietude
It sits on my chest purring with pleasure I’m not sure how huge it is but it feels beyond measure perhaps it’s imagination making it seem bigger each day or perhaps it’s because there’s more in my way It’s becoming a friend Although not a great one it’s bigger at bad times but also there…

Ode to the road
Sometimes I think I live in my car from point a to point B no matter how far. The sound of the road repetitive and dull strangely is my time relax in its lull. No matter the distance I always enjoy whether by myself, Or with my girls and my boy The road is my…
