Be the buffalo. When a storm is on the horizon and imminent, buffalo, unlike most other mammals, run towards the storm. They run directly into the very centre of the discomfort. They seem to prefer to face distress head on. Minimizing the time waiting in unproductive panic. They do not avoid the inevitable or pretend it is not there. Rather … Read More

Things end. This is the truth. Good things. Bad things. Things we didn’t see coming. And those we did. Beautiful moments. Painful moments. So… We move on. We close up. We finish. We complete. The key turns the lock. The papers singed. The house stands empty. The choir leaves the stage. The path now overgrown longer clear. And sometimes we … Read More

The office. Sometimes I sit in the office after hours, in the spot you sit in. I look around and imagine, empathize, feel the discomfort and also relief, that you do when you sit here. You see me in that chair from this viewpoint. Maybe you wonder what I’m really thinking? I’d wonder that too. In fact, when I’m on … Read More

Grief Grief is necessary. It is a critical part of love. It cannot be separated from loss. If you are grieving it is because you loved so deeply. We want to move through grief quickly, untangling the hold it has upon us. But the more we try to bypass, the more entangled we become. Grief, like love, is an emotion. … Read More

I know you think you’re breaking in half. The thing that has cracked you open and pulls you down, feels eternal. But you, my friend, were designed for this. To love and break and live to tell the tale. Maybe, if you are lucky, to do it all over again. We were made to find the magic and then hold … Read More

Motherhood Some deserve to be mothers, hearts yearning and full of potential, yet never become one. Some are not well suited or not ready to be mothers, their own anguish and issues abound, and yet they are gifted with life.
