Matt Maloney and I married in a spectacularly sunny ceremony at the Red Reflet Ranch in Ten Sleep, Wyoming on September 14, 2019. We had an unprogrammed Quaker-style ceremony, meaning there was no officiant. Quakers believe that no one person is more divine than any other; they believe that all people have God or divinity …

Art after #MeToo
It’s a sentiment we hear debated a lot these days: love the art, hate the artist. Is this possible? What if the artist in question used the fame, wealth, and power they earned from making their art to hurt others? On the one hand, it’s impossible to separate art from its creator. On the other, …
What I’ve Learned about Forgiveness
In light of the #metoo movement, I've come across some interesting discussions about the role of forgiveness--whether it's an outdated concept, what its utility even is, who gets to give and receive it.

After two and a half weeks in the high-altitude New Mexico desert sun, I confess my summer freckles have returned. I like to think of them as my skin’s seasonal blossoming.

My Summer Reads

The highs in the summer here reach the highs 70's, low 80's (Fahrenheit, duh), which is room temperature in the South. If that doesn't make you want to come visit us, I don't know what will!
