I’m moving!
No, not that kind of move. I turned 39 last week, and after half a year of weighing it out, I decided that the gift I am giving to myself when I turn 40 next year is the gift of all the reclaimed time I usually spend on social media. …
3 Things I learned in 2022
Three things I learned last year: 1) If I am sick or run-down, I will get better faster if I take a day to rest completely, rather than trying to push through. 2) I actually enjoy lifting weights. 3) I love to learn. I love to be challenged, I love to be …
On Seasons and Self-Preservation
A few weeks ago, I was walking through the newest leaf pile under a neighbor’s Oak, struck to stillness at the russet hill and the piercing blue above, the raining gold from a nearby maple. I paused to take it all in, to try to capture some of what I …
The Pewsletter: October Edition
Hi, do you remember when I made that meme five months ago? Happy October, and I am here to confirm that while necessary in the specific garden of my specific life at that specific time, I don’t ever want to see a butterfly like that again. A double course load …
What’s New in the Pew: May Edition
MAYbe you thought this month’s ‘pewsletter’ would never come? May, Maybe, get it? Have no fear, the second Saturday is here. Do I always post on the second Saturday of the month? No. Am I going to try to make it a thing? Also no, but the alliteration worked this …
What’s New in the Pew: March Edition
Happy Saturday, friends of the interwebs. In my neck of the woods, today carries the Spring equivalent of what I call “Charlie Brown Skies” in Autumn; every late-Octoberish around here, we get those milky watercolor skies with clouds that melt into what C.S. Lewis terms “silvers and doves” and other …
For the love of Lewis.
Three passages of his have remained with me throughout the years. In his book Mere Christianity, Lewis explores the difficulty that every person who has ever faced the Lord’s prayer with bald honesty faces…
December, jk.
Hi, hello, and welcome! If you’re thinking, ‘wow, December’s newsletter is late,’ you are not wrong. Instead of Donatist December and all the manner of Christmas frivolity I had planned, we all caught Covid instead and without guile, it was the sickest I’ve ever been in my life, even being …
Pilot (it’s actually Rose).
So the first episode of Doctor Who, Season 1: Episode 1 is called Rose and not Pilot, like I thought 😂 It’s alright, grab your fez and a cuppa, because we’re about to cozy up to one of my all-time favorite shows: Doctor Who. The namesake pun of both my …
No-Rush November
I call it no-rush because this post is a week late, get it?? Happy November! Mild apologies for skipping October’s monthly update; we went on vacation and made incredible memories (and some new friends!) that I’ll cherish for the rest of my years, but I still haven’t finished doing the …
