“so why does our writing matter, again? they ask. because of the spirit, i say. because of the heart. writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. they deepen and widen and explained our sense of life: they feed the soul. when writers make us shake our heads with exactness of their prose and their truth, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. we are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along, with absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. – anne lamott from bird by bird

hello! i am now on day two of my thirty-day miracle morning challenge and am truly enjoying doing this with a few others… it’s been so motivational, knowing that others are up bright and early and are hopefully experiencing something similar.  i am already feeling more renewed to create, to share, and to take in each day. i hope if you are joining me, you are feeling the same way.  

last night in the bathtub, parks said his name for the first time… and then when i was putting him in his crib, he said, ‘i love you… i love you.’ probably the best thing i have ever heard. simply ever. he will usually attempt any word that you ask him (for the most part) but has never even tried his name.
