listen to the sound of my shaky heart

listen to the sound of my shaky heart

Yesterday was a good day. Today is a bad day. This morning I found Mama Eula throwing all of my grandfather’s things away. She’s furious because he’s taken her money and run off with another woman. When I try to explain that he’s coming back soon, Mama Eula’s eyes widen and she usually says, “When he…

Sophia & Mama Eula & Me

Well, we made it through the night, kind of. Mama Eula woke us up at 5am by turning on all the lights in the house. She seemed surprised to find us asleep in our beds. I quickly turned them off and led her outside into the kitchen, allowing S to get back to sleep. My…

Oh, what is this feeling? [Anxiety in our scary world].

Oh, what is this feeling? [Anxiety in our scary world].

I’m scared. Over the past few years I have noticed a pretty significant change with myself: I’ve become a paranoid scaredy-cat.  I used to be afraid of nothing.

Yesterday some of our family from Mount Vernon, Kentucky came to visit us. 🙂 It was too short a visit, but some of us did make it down to the lake for some swimming. I brought my camera, and have been thinking about why I like taking pictures so much. Because I don’t just like…

Community Unity: An Evening of Solidarity

It’s so hard to find time to write, but right now love is pulsing through me and I’ve been dancing around clapping with happiness all evening. Now I just need to write. Usually, I write when I’m either deeply troubled or overflowing with joy (and those two often go hand in hand). And that is…

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl

It’s been months since I’ve written, and I don’t know why. I don’t think anyone actually reads this anymore unless they casually click the link on my facebook profile, but I think it’s still important for me to write. Writing makes me reflect on my life, and when I write, I appreciate the positive things…

Creative Bombs

Taken while drawing with kids in South Africa (2005). I am working so hard on putting together a professional looking book. So far I have taught myself Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. Two incredible programs. Right now, I am editing my writing and very slowly organizing the pictures with the text. It’s a long process!!…
