The US Army chorus sang “One More Day” from Les Misérables — a protest anthem from one of the most powerful musicals of all time. If you’re not familiar, Les Misérables examines the societal and political impacts of unjust government and the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. So, the US Army chorale performed One More Day at the Governor’s Ball — surrounding the President with their voices powerfully raised in protest. Incredible. Do you hear the people sing? I’ve spent much ... VIEW POST
Do you hear the people sing?
Laundry room organization made easy: does anyone care, though?
It feels weird. Trying to blog about mundane things like laundry room organization when life quite literally feels on the cusp of...something. I've talked about my own struggle with posting "normal" life during times that pull us out of our own bubbles and push us into the world as it is -- a messy, torturous place for so many people. Embrace that pull, folks. Learn from it. Anyway, the injustice of it all eats away at me, every day. Every breath I take is jam-packed with the knowledge ... VIEW POST
The Soul of Humanity
I wrote this at 2 AM with a fever of 104 last month (pneumonia is a beast). It's one of the many pieces I've written with no intention of sharing publicly. I often fight with myself -- wondering if my words have the meaning I intend, feeling as though I'm robbed of eloquence, or that I'm simply not good enough as a writer. But I feel it's important to share this one -- that if my words manage to move even one other person, then I've done my job well. So, I share "The Soul of Humanity" on the ... VIEW POST
Photography is magic
"Whoa! That's so cool," my kids gasped, breathless in their excitement as they saw the colors stream through my camera lens. What looked to be a faint line of pink quickly burst into a blend of dark pink, purple, blue, and green. Photography is magic. The human eye is fairly weak, really. We're just not equipped to see the variations and brilliance in night light with our own eyes (one of the reasons I thank my camera after every shoot). Magical, ethereal, something other worldly -- ... VIEW POST
Suffragettes, skeletons, and the sisterhood
A handful of weeks ago, I thought about writing this post - and I want to add that it also had a great title at the time (I specifically remember thinking, "WOW, that's a BOMB title!"). As it happens, I can't recall it (*pulls out hair in frustration*) and this post remains title-less until it comes to me (and it probably will in a nightmare at 3 AM). It's no surprise to anyone that election season is upon us. From yard signs to commercials, robocalls to door-knockers, endless ... VIEW POST
Learning to appreciate nature and its gifts
"Autumn's Fire" fine art print available here Leaf peeping is at its height here in the mountains of Colorado and I feel like there is a renewed interest in learning to appreciate nature and its gifts. We were lucky to be able to drive up Guanella Pass -- one of the most popular aspen-viewing drives that begins just outside of Georgetown. We were able to enjoy some of the most brilliant colors this past week (mid-week...because the weekend is nuts and you know I don't like big crowds...unless ... VIEW POST
