Yes! Thank you for this. We have both books but I’ve been meaning to find you a third.

All my Favourite People are Broken
"I hate you. And I'm embarrassed you're my mom." "I feel you, bud." "We still have to wash your hair." **** His insults are genuine and heartfelt. And I twinge. But. The weight of his grief in those words are much heavier than mine will ever be. He's serious. He throws something heavy that I...

Thanks Liz. Im going to talk to one of the educators about the impact of her statements/thinking because Im very sure shes ready and willing to hear it. As much as I want to assume good intentions, I can tell that the others arent-- which certainly wont stop me from pushing back in the future! Being called out/in is such a gift, isnt it?!

"Let's start by talking about his strengths", she said. "He's quiet. Kind. On task." "Quiet, yes." **** After a very *crispy* summer, all six of the Framily Children began school this August. The youngest one was declared the Most Ready in The History of Readiness as she marched into Kinderga...

Oh, my friend Emily. I have been writing about this dangerous world for years. I am concerned, now, with the present--which is clear and ever dangerous for my people. Thank you for reading. My story, is my story.

Frida Frida With the Pole Through Her Body
I didn't watch the Oscars the other night. We haven't been to a movie in ages and for once I'm itching to see so many. Storytelling has always been a popular way to deliver content, change minds, and sell crap. There are so many people making movies about hard places and beautiful things to te...

I used to write and hit publish and then go back and fix the typos I swore I had already corrected. I am trying to be more diligent now, but I need a good editor and someone to proofread and then tell me to order my thoughts accordingly. This is an apology to my writer-ly friends who read and ...

sun catcher
We've not had many summery days here in Wellington, but I wanted to capture a little bit of sun when it appeared recently. Perhaps some warm weather is still on its way, like a parcel lost in the post? I made a few sun catchers (details here) with flowers pressed back at the start of the s...

And All That Was Left Was His Love
The church I grew up in did not sing gospel music, per se, but more contemporary types of praise music mixed in with hymns... Um, choruses? They were often performed slightly off tempo thanks an abundance of acoustic guitar and hand percussion. They'd best be compared to camp songs if you'd li...
