Now that we’re hurtling toward summer in North Carolina, I’m glad that I decided to extend my morning walks several weeks ago. My body has had time to get accustomed to the time and distance, which has made it possible for me to keep up my routine now that we’re getting into the heavy heat…
June 11, 2025
For two nights in a row, I’ve had a firefly come right up next to me and put on it’s lovely light show, as though it was assigned to me by the Universe. I honestly don’t know how one could have such an encounter and not believe in magic.
Time Together: Rediscovering My Favorite Portland Band
Several weeks ago, I was having a conversation and the Pacific Northwest came up. More specifically, the music scene. I argued that between Portland and Seattle, Portland had the better scene even though Seattle got all the attention (and most of the record deals). The thing about Portland music is that there was no such…

last saturday, i decided to stray from my usual 4-5 laps around the pond in favor of following the other greenway path. even though i don’t go that way as often, i enjoy that part of the greenway because it smells like i’m walking through an old book store. but on this day, as i…
Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself
Hello, remember me? The absolute goofball with a shit-ton of notes and ideas in my Notion notebook and index cards that I fully plan to turn into a post either here or there, but due to Many Other Things, I have had neither the time nor the mental energy to write about any of it. Remember her?
Well, I’m back. Feel free to clap or roll your eyes (or both if you’re that coordinated) at this point.
So Hey There, It’s Been a Minute
Okay, maybe more than a minute and closer to *checks calendar* a year and a half? Yikes. I guess that’s what happens when you’re trying to keep going during a pandemic. I’ll do a more thorough catch-up post when I can (probably over Thanks-but-no-thanks-giving). The headline now is that I’ve consciously decoupled my Victoria Klum…
May Day 2020
We have a chance to change business as usual, to make more conscious choices. Let’s not go back to a broken and deadly paradigm. Let’s move forward toward a society that lifts all of us.
Look at Something New
Now that we’ve all been holed up, hunkered down, and banned from going places for over a month, you’re probably tired of looking at the same four walls and are ready for something new to gaze upon. So why not buy a print from my photography site? This photo is one of several currently available…
Pets Are Family: Include Them In Your Emergency Plan
Well hello there! It’s been a minute since I’ve been here. The freelance hustle is non-stop and, well, this became fallow land. Anyway, we’re at the height of hurricane season (not to be confused with Hurricanes Season, which will get underway in a few weeks). In fact, we already had Hurricane Dorian hit North Carolina…
Away From Keyboard: WRAL Azalea Gardens
The azaleas in the WRAL gardens started blooming a few weeks ago, so I took a field trip to have a look. Photos will come later, once I have a chance to finish my editing.
