The Importance of Remembering Shared Humanity

October 9, 2021 by Stephanie 3 Comments

Encountering our shared humanity is uncomfortable at times. Several years ago, I, along with my then preschool aged two children, made a routine trip to the grocery store.

How Choosing Self Care Is a Healthy Form of Control

September 25, 2021 by Stephanie 1 Comment

How I am Finding Hope When Summer Looks Different

July 9, 2021 by Stephanie 4 Comments

Seasons don’t always unfold according to expectations. Sometimes they appear confused. Several years ago, a week long streak of 90 degree days burst through the chilly early March days.
