Personal update about the current pandemic, The Sphinx’s Heart (it’s two books now!), our new dog, and more.

A photo essay of what's been filling up my blog silence.

Summer has been challenging for me as a work-from-home mom, but we've also made some great memories. And I am much more able to put aside my anxiety at my unfinished to-do list than I ever used to be and just enjoy the little moments.

Grief is a funny thing.

One day, you can be perfectly fine, feel like you have accepted your loss, and that life will once again be wonderful to live.

The next day, you can be on the verge (or beyond it) of tears at every waking moment.

Super-simple and way better than canned. You'll wonder why you never tried it before.
