My Irish Quaker summer camp friend, Ash, is here & I couldn’t be more thrilled!

We spent St. Patrick’s day seeking out a favorite thing of theirs. Lighthouses.

The Oregon coast was Oregoning so our first two attempts were (mostly) thwarted. Fog killed just about every view and vista.

We persisted, however, and were so glad we did.

It is pure gift that they’ve traveled all this way for me to share a bit of my life and city with them.

As always, when I get to spend time with a brilliant person, I’m learning so much, laughing, singing along to their amazing road trip play list, and generally feeling unbelievably grateful for their friendship.

The next few days? Powell’s Books, a choir concert, and ALL the women’s sports.

Thanks for being here Ash. I promise that there really is quite a view from atop the Astor Column 😉.

To all our friends from Moyallon…I@wish you were all here with us!! I miss you!

❤️

Year 23 of the for this mom/son team!

There’s nothing like beer for breakfast & a nice long stroll on both sides of the river with one of my favorite people on the planet!

Thank you for all the things!! For doing this with me every year, for spending the whole time (& lots of time in between) talking about things that matter, and for encouraging me to listen to my body and do the walk instead of the run (best move)!

I’m the most fortunate person in the world to get to be your mom. I fu***ng love you 😉!

It’s and I’m doing an entire afternoon offline (as soon as I post this).

Time off line isn’t only important for our sense of calm and groundedness. It also increases our creativity, resourcefulness, and joy.

Use whatever you’ve got…some yarn, string from your kitchen, whatever…and do some finger knitting. Then, when you’re done, un-do the whole thing.

This is a radical act of resistance and communicates to your brain and body that it’s ok simply to be with no end product some times.

If we all adopted this practice even once a week, we’d begin seeing increased empathy and kindness toward our selves and others. This could change the world.

On days like International Women’s Day it can be easy to feel like you aren’t the “right kind” of woman.

For me, that person doesn’t exist.

If you are a woman (& I include all female identifying people here…ALL OF THEM), I encourage, invite, and implore you to be the most wildly, true to who you are person and to be that woman unapologetically (loudly or quietly…whichever is your jam).

If all of humanity is a big puzzle…we desperately need your piece to be fully what it is meant to be in order to have a beautiful and powerful final piece of art.

I could spend all day listing the ways in which I am not the “right” kind of woman.

Today I am resisting that cultural (and social media driven) rut and trying hard to be boldly who I am.

Will you join me?

If you’ve been fed the message that your womanhood isn’t the acceptable or ideal kind, tell us about it below. Then let us shower you with healing truths!

You are important. You are you for a reason and we need you in this space and world.

Yesterday, I got to spend time with Teach for America, talking about how to live healthy lives while also living with the need to be online.

A brilliant participant asked my opinion about tools used to help us focus (music, ambient noise, having a show on while working, etc).

We’ve acclimated to so much stimulation, that the kind of lack of it that we actually thrive on, is almost impossible to achieve any more.

Here are my humble offerings for how to regain comfort in, and familiarity with, quiet.

Embracing at least some of this in our lives has the power to literally change the world, lowering the blood pressure and stress of everyone around us.

Do you have some ideas I haven’t listed? If so, please share. We all need help in this pursuit.

02/27/2026

I’m excitedly preparing to bombard you with ideas of how to spend time without your phone.

I believe, with my whole heart and mind, that the world would be a kinder, healthier, and more inclusive place if each of us spent at least part of our days apart from our devices and their constant message indicators.

It can be fun and easy if we plan ahead.

Buckle your seat belt and follow along this week as I work to inspire you with tips and ideas.
