School’s In

Is it tired in here? Or is that just me? School started. I started school. I’m on campus with (very full) classes of sophomores, sweet and eager and fully masked every day. We are not socially distanced. Not by a long shot. But we’re safely masked up and all facing forward and sanitizing the life

I need… I need

You know that part in “What About Bob?” where Bob (Bill Murray) is begging Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfus) to see him while he’s on vacation? (I just wanted to put that pertinent actor info in there in case you’ve been under a rock for a couple/three decades.) “I’m doing the work. I’m not a

Relentless Hope

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s April 2020 LDS conference talk did for me what Elder Holland’s addresses always do for me: it gave me both a desire and a tool. As he spoke of the hope of God’s children in the prophet Joseph’s time, and what their hopes might have been in relation to the restoration

Sometimes when I jog two miles in a row, I feel like I’ve done something incredibly virtuous and praiseworthy. And sometimes when I finish a draft of a manuscript that takes much research and thought and prayer and struggle and tears and heartache, I feel like it’s silly to be proud of myself. Sometimes I

I’m reading an NPR article about creativity as an excercise in healthfulness, and I’m all for it. Here’s the link, if you’re interested.

Look Ahead

In my English classes today, my Sophomores responded to the journal prompt “What does 2020 hold for you?” and it’s fascinating to read their replies. Full disclosure: I teach Honors sophomores, which is an inherently different population than a standard group of sophomores. They’re more likely to live in safe, secure environments. They’re more likely

We Bought a Dog.

For all the years I’ve been an adult (and most of the years before that) I have been firm–adamant, even–that I am not a dog person. We had dogs growing up. I have vague memories of a blond labrador-style dog in our Seattle (or maybe Tacoma) house, and my dad told us that he (the

Year of the Blog (again)?

I’m a writer. But I’m not doing all that much writing, because as it happens, I’m also a teacher. And a wife, a mom, and a neighbor. A sister. A daughter. Et cetera. Even if I do all of those things at something like 20%, I’m still feeling pretty Full. But I miss the blog.
