WELCOME!
I’m a writer, podcaster, and parent of two almost-adults. I believe the best things in life start with a good conversation.
I definitely felt a shift this week. When an idea popped up I wanted to explore, my first impulse was to write a blog post, not to toss it out there on Facebook. Here’s why I think this is important. Also: links to some of my favorite #NaBloPoMo2019 posts this week.
A poem for my 51st birthday.
Christine and I share small but powerful ways to simplify holiday meals and entertaining.
My fundraiser for Everytown for Gun Safety ends in two days. We’re 90% of the way to the final goal of $3400 (four times the original goal). The outpouring of love and generosity from friends and strangers has been nothing short of remarkable.
Giyen is a writer, artist, analyst, manager, public servant, designer, mother… and I’ve barely scratched the surface.
Last week, I started a Facebook fundraiser for Everytown for Gun Safety in response to the Saugus High School shooting in Santa Clarita, CA. My niece, a student there, escaped to safety, but two other students were killed, and the shooter — a 16 year-old student — died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
I want to update you about the fundraiser, because something special is happening: people I don’t know are donating.
