Let’s get shakin’🎱

Thanks so much for being here. It’s appreciated, truly.

First things first:

I am no expert. 

I don’t have fancy certificates. I didn’t go to school for anything authoritative — and we can discuss what authoritative even means.

But I’m earnest. I’m a writer, professionally and personally. I care about people. And the world is contradictory, unfair, confusing, hard.

I am just standing by your side, shouting into the void. We can hold hands. Our palms are soft. The warmth is nice, isn’t it? 

You know the drill. Posts are sent directly to your email. Maybe they make you think. Hopefully they make you feel.

Here’s the archive, if you feel like dippin’ in just the toes.

The silly magic eight ball of it all 🎭

I think the Greeks got it right. Thalia and Melpomene’s mask, that half-smile, half-frown, the comedy-tragedy mused as one.

The funniest people I know are the saddest. And the happiest ones are always a tad bit stupid, or very good at being in the moment.

The best part? We’ve all got it swirling inside of us, at all times, every bit and bob, every touch and charge and pulse. Funny and sad and happy and stupid and kaleidoscope awe all congeal under our skin. It’s clamped and thumping right now, inside your skull.

We can allow all these parts to coexist. They can sit side-by-side rubbing elbows. There’s room for everything in this house. Let’s talk about it all.

 Let’s try not to be so hard on the world. Let’s try not to be so hard on ourselves.
