hump day nuggets: beauty in the unexpected

January 27, 2010
hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and words about the last week A lot happened this week. Good stuff. I feel like my pace, as a mama of two, has settled. I won’t be getting a PR or running any mentionable distance, but the pace is there.

community, humanity

January 18, 2010
I once did a series of artworks about human commonality. How, all over the globe, our similarities hugely outweigh our differences.

Sometimes my own effort, as one mama in Montana, can feel so small and I wonder if I can really make a difference. But then I remember… How … Continue reading community, humanity →
