SOLSC 2020 ~ 31/31
We walk. Every day. We soak up each moment spent breathing deeply, and sharing conversation in the midst of isolation. This post was written as part of a monthly challenge sponsored by Two Writing Teachers, to encourage writing and community. While the goal is to write a Slice of Life entry each day throughout […]
SOLSC 2020 ~ 30/31
She struggles and slams stomps and sighs. She worries and wonders wiping her eyes. She receives and believes; relieved to see the exciting u n c e r t a i n t y of this New. Normal? This post was written as part of a monthly challenge sponsored by Two Writing Teachers, to […]
SOLSC 2020 ~ 29/31
It seems odd that days, melting into one another like forgotten crayons in hot summer cars, can become so full that I forget to share. But they do. Sometimes they are full of energy and accomplishment, work and progress. Other times they are full of chores and tasks, begrudgingly undertaken, but gratefully completed. Still, […]
SOLSC 2020 ~ 24/31
We’re trying to establish routine. We’re each working – on job-related tasks, on homework, sometimes both. We have already taken the dogs on a short walk, played a card game, and enjoyed one meal around this same table. We’re working on collective and individual goals. While showers have become a bit less frequent – with […]

Last week, prematurely I know, we pulled the patio furniture from the sunroom where it wintered. We needed to make use of every possible inch of the home we already felt was a bit too small. Still too chilly for much living space, the sunroom became a makeshift greenhouse, where my husband and son planned […]

Then, I began watching online videos of artists who spent more time planning their pieces. Artists who rather than filling […]
SOLSC 2020 ~ 21/31
Four months ago, a bit rashly, we made plans. We selected dates and spent a small fortune on what would surely be a spring break trip to remember. The timing was perfect, flights were affordable, and four days at sea would be a great way to test whether we were the cruising-type. We selected excursions, […]
SOLSC 2018 ~ Day 19 ~ Needed
As the days get longer and our afternoons spent creating and constructing begin to consume more of the evening, I find that if I look carefully…the space I needed to create was there. Today, I watched 20 fifth grade students plan and play. Something about this little guy struck me as I passed by. Here’s […]
SOLSC 2018 ~ Day 17 ~ Nothing
Nothing could have prepared me for the enormity of the festivities that would converge in our new town today. Here, the kids are ready for their community choir float. The sun and slight breeze made the mid-afternoon festivities seem even more enjoyable. It was a great way to spend our day together. […]
