This song is the boost I needed while doing concept-mapping work for *Gently Down the Stream: Reclaiming Meaning After Religion* (working title). I only recently discovered electroswing and... wow! #AmWriting #Author #Writing #WritingCommunity

Checking out some of the citizen science opportunities near me. What kind of projects do you participate in as a community scientist? What about it do you enjoy most? I would love to hear your experiences! #naturalism #nature #ecology #water

What is the story only you can tell? Are you sharing it? We need each other's stories… of courage, of overcoming, of love, more than ever. They keep us connected. They keep us human. Stories unfurl something beautifully wise. They inspire. They show us that humanity is worth fighting for.

In a world of uncertainty, I look to small moments of awe and delight for sustenance. #nature #awe #goodness

I'm prepping my A Coffee for a Story project where I'll set out for coffeeshops to talk with people about the moments that matter most. In rough times, stories of deeply human experience help us remember what we are fighting for. Shared stories link us in our humanity, in our hopes and dreams. 👂💙

I'm thrilled with a decline I received from a well-known literary magazine today. The piece was one of the first I wrote upon my turn to literary writing, and I've only improved since then. Declined--but personalized with feedback (that I agree with). I did a happy dance. #writingcommunity #writer

I don't put much emphasis on my birthday each year... but this one is kind of cool. Tonight I've experienced two items on my wish list... It's the first night living in my dream state in New England AND I saw bioluminescence for the first time!

New project brewing: a YA hybrid illustrated novel told through the diary of a whimsical, synesthetic teen who renames her journal Wilbur because “Dear Diary” feels too formal for existential musings and doodled frogs in crowns. It’s messy, tender, philosophical, and candle-orange warm. #writing

I went through several years of deconstructing and healing after some big life changes. Now, as I return to literary reading and writing (after a decade+ in academia), I feel something changing in me again. A lightness, expansiveness, a new hopefulness. It's the feeling of being alive, I think.

Percolating new ideas is exhilarating but exhausting- arising time and again through the night to capture liquid thoughts. I know you know it too. I'm certain all the best words, the ones we desire to become drunk upon, are created this way.

Sometimes, all we can do is not turn away. To witness the horror that we know awaits.

Soul-healing day paddling out in the marsh. 🦫Now, the thunder is rumbling as I settle into my little home in the woods.
Marsh with still, black water. Lily pads in the foreground with two lotus flower buds, one beginning to unfurl. Pickerel weed is in the background with pine trees towering behind. The sky is overcast with a coming storm.

Tonight, swaying in my hammock, I listened to the boats docking for the evening, watching the sky darken as fireflies began their nightly upward spiral. Bliss. And then I heard a rip and--surprise--I was on the ground 😳 #HammockTrouble

When I finally left my lifelong religion, I was stunned with the understanding of just how psychologically damaging the church is. But I may have been even more shocked with the realization of the enormity and wonder of the world around me ... awed with the beauty of life in all of its messiness. 🧭
