Today
Today, my heart is grieving with Newtown. Just a few months ago, this heart-shaped yellow leaf dropped from the trees and landed in front of my feet. Back then, it felt like a reminder. Today, it feels like a demand. I am hanging on to all that is good, beautiful, kind, and brave in our…

I have a thing for old foundations. There is one in particular in Newfield, NY which I’ve visited year after year since I was a tiny, little girl. It was once a one room farmhouse with a now boarded-up well, deep, deep in the woods. At one time, the land surrounding it was farmland, but…
birds + watercolor
My youngest loves to paint and draw, but she sometimes feels stuck when it comes to choosing a subject. It’s not that she doesn’t love to doodle and experiment with color; she’ll do that for hours. It’s just that sometimes, she will tell me that she really wants to draw “somebody cute,” but she isn’t…
