The Gift of Pain (A Poem)
Pain can be a pivot point, a place where the veil thins and we discover the inexplicable kinship of suffering and joy.
Do Not Despise Small Beginnings

Five Minutes at a Time • A Letter To The Mamas
Five minutes at a time, we will raise our kids and love our husbands and wrap our hands around lukewarm coffee. Five minutes at a time, we will breathe and rise and take the next step.
