The Whisper of Becoming

      Lately, a single phrase keeps following me.

     “You’re becoming.”

      I keep seeing it everywhere.
      Like a quiet little whisper following me around.
      Soft. Subtle. Persistent.

Coffee With My Younger Self

      I met my younger self for coffee this morning.

      She showed up full of conviction, so sure of who she was supposed to be.
      Hopeful. Certain.
      Soft and kind, unaware of what was coming.

Our new home

     Many people are downsizing their stuff and their homes, going from big homes to tiny homes. Not us. We were living in a 1,260 square foot home. 9 people in that tiny house. We were like sardines in a can.
