The Same Moon — coming in 2019!
Now that the final edits have been submitted to my publisher … I’m excited to announce that my memoir, The Same Moon, is scheduled to be published in 2019! It’s the story of a young woman from Minnesota who tries to put her life on hold by running off to Japan for a couple of years. (As you might imagine, it didn’t exactly work.) Sometimes … Continue reading The Same Moon — coming in 2019!
Meditation: Shrug it off
A couple of years ago, my son and I started a craft project.

And to remember why some of us do our best to remain gluten-free/dairy-free/fill-in-the-blank-free. If you (like me) are ready to get back on whatever horse you might have fallen off of, check out this simple breakfast recipe. Whip it up in 5 minutes … Continue reading Boxing Day resolutions
Please ask your guests this question …

Much had changed since we had last hosted them — children had grown tall, adult hair had grayed (and fallen out), households had moved, jobs had evolved. All the usual stuff. Then there were the eating habits. Over the past three years, my family’s diet … Continue reading Please ask your guests this question …
A beary good idea
Toxic Toby is an animatronic bear. Built in Battle Ground, Washington, he now stands vigil on the streets of London, connected to an app that measures air quality. Whenever pollution levels hit a point unsafe for humans, Toby’s little eyebrows flex, and he coughs, paw to mouth.
