Waves On the Ocean Breathing
My Own Words Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Mary Hartnett, Wendy W. Williams This book became available to me as I walked up Manhattan Avenue, on my way to begin my Brooklyn Greenway run. It has been a long time since I have been in this neighborhood. I passed so many places that I must get back to, especially now that I know exactly where the Jungle Cafe is, yum, right off the G train.

Eating Four Vegan Croissants
Dear Mother Nature, Happy September. I praise you, and I want you to know that I get it. For some reason you have chosen to challenge me at the end, and beginning of every month with this PMS thing. It's so hard. I'm not sure why you chose me for this, but I'm dealing with it as best I can.

Mindful Chores
Mindful Chores Yep, it seems like the world’s gone mad. And for all intents and purposes it has. Monetary systems, healthcare systems, travel policies, governmental wrangling and tangling, so many of the institutions we'd gotten accustomed to, no matter how much we disagreed or struggled with them, have been soundly shaken and we're left with big, empty spots where a sense of security once lay.

So here we are in a new and unsure reality with our faces covered, separated by a virus that has claimed the lives of so many, often without a job and wondering where to turn to pick up a thread of constancy to hold tight and pull ourselves onto whatever path we can find to settle our lives back into some kind of normal.
