I am delighted to be guest posting at Zen Family Habits today. Please click over to read my thoughts on how instinct and peer pressure can go to war, and my dedicated efforts to remember what I really believe is vitally important.
Have you ever come home in a blog? So asks Terresa at the outset of her post today at her beautiful blog, The Chocolate Chip Waffle. And, yes, yes, yes! I have, Terresa, and your gorgeous blog is one of those places. Actually it is the home I dream of, because your writing is so [...]
It is my distinct privilege to be guest posting at Motherese today. I am so glad to have found Kristen and as I said when I featured her words here last Thursday, she writes beautifully about questions of identity, politics, parenting, and living in this world. Her posts are shot through with personal reflection and [...]
It is my distinct honor to welcome Kristen from Motherese to this space today. Kristen’s blog is one of those I admire most, for her lucid and intelligent probing of questions so relevant to me I often feel she dug them out of my brain. Kristen is dear to me, too, for leaving me one [...]
I’m over at Making the Moments Count Today. Please go read the letter I wrote to Grace, and then poke around and read some more of Amber’s beautiful, honest, lyrical words. I love her writing and her frank and poetic portrayal of life with two tiny children. Thank you, Amber, for hosting me!

I wish you quietness, and the kind of rest that has you wake up feeling calm. And warm feet and glowing embers, and shortbread cookies or latkes and rosy cheeks or whatever sustains you.

I am honored to again have my writing featured on Kelly Diels’ site, Cleavage. It is a high honor indeed to read my own sentences within the gilded cage of Kelly’s words.
