I’ve got an angel She doesn’t wear any wings She wears a heart that can melt my own Wears a smile that can make me wanna sing She gives me presents With her presence alone She gives me everything I could wish for Gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home She could […]

My daughter turned TWO in January and my life has been a constant cycle of repeating her words to affirm to her that I know what she is saying [otherwise she will say them over and over and over]. Along with that, she is learning at least one new word a day and it is […]

I was texting with one of my brides earlier today about how fast my little girl is growing up and about how I want to actively set aside tasks and be more present with her when I have the chance, because these moments are fleeting. And that is what I love about one year old […]

We were just a couple of little, trying-to-fit-in, pony-tail-extraordinaire middle school girls. And I would say, for me, middle school wasn’t the best of times.

I met Naomi Wong on my childhood bunkbed many a year ago as our mother’s bartered out grain sales, and I thought she was really clever//cool when we were just little pre-teens exchanging emails and I saw that her email was her name spelled backwards. I had the honor of taking her high school senior […]

“for she too dreamt of seeing hues of worlds undiscovered. her soul spilling onto every page of the purely vulnerable moment in detail. with adventure’s name, cursively carved, like a map, paving a route between every line. by way of celestial sphere, navigate. to discovery’s door, gravitate. ’twas amidst wondrous iced waterfalls & majestically regal […]
