I didn’t know how I knew how to train my dog. That was the thing that triggered the cascade. How was I training my dog? It was a snarky comment from a friend that turned me on to the question of how I was able to train her at all. Our friendship was strained at

I love the quality of light After a night of snow Blue and yellow Blended through magic water Beauty is here for you to unpuzzle Fractals upon fractals of it Beauty… and turtles all the way down

Its impossible to deny that something will happen next month after our election has happened. I’ve been systematically numbing myself over it for years (since the last election, I suppose).

Two birds with one stone I’ve been attending weekly dates with a couple of friends for over a year now. It might be close to two. Each Tuesday morning, we meet at a locally-owned shop for coffee and bagels. It is a highlight in my week. Deb works at the bistro, and every Tuesday she

On new beginnings This week is a big one. Everyone in my family is returning to school. My partner is teaching, the kids are each starting their respective next grade levels, and I’ve enrolled myself in a Philosophy 101–a subject I was interested in the first time around, but everyone told me it wasn’t worth

Today, I’d like to write about my dog. I named this blog after her actually. I wrote about how we got her back when this was on Substack. At the time she was a puppy, and for anyone who has never raised a puppy, they quite literally are your life for those first few years.
