When I was a little girl, I said a prayer. I asked earnestly to never forget what it feels like to be a kid. I don’t know exactly what my thought process was at the time. (I was quite young.) But there was something I saw in the grown-ups around me that I KNEW I… Continue reading The Prayer

Surrender 101
My toilet was clogged for FOUR DAYS. This was a bit of a crisis for me, since I have only one toilet in my now little place.

I had the most wonderful lunch! I took myself to my favorite Thai restaurant. I ordered things from the menu that I’d never tried before. (I have certain go-to dishes ordinarily) I enjoyed soup and even dessert. I sipped jasmine tea and finished the whole pot. It’s like it was my birthday or some other… Continue reading Lunch: Just Food? Or An Act of Profound Self Love?
