God speaks through a wasp

I sat on this random pew in the hallway near the receptionist’s office at the Jesuit Spirituality Center. I was here on a women’s day retreat with my mother and aunt. The first lecture talked about acceptance and how to cultivate happiness. I had just finished my first week of teaching curriculum and some of [...]

The Orange Juice Philosophy

An editorial I wrote two summers ago: I have come to understand that I live my life by various philosophies. It allows me to bend my own rules instead of having to defend strict beliefs. Maybe, I don’t really like to be wrong and I like to leave some space to play. Recently, I started [...]

Saintly Faith

I wrote a few entries ago about how I’m trying to understand my own version of faith. There are a few recent situations that have caused maturation in this process. The first occurred on December 7, 2009 when my second niece, Catherine Grace Marcotte, was born. My sister Meggan was diagnosed on October 10 (our [...]

Explosions of awakening

I saw light through my closed eye lids and thought it was the sun. It was florescent lights at a gas station. “We’re in Wyoming. You have to drive now. But you’re about to see the most amazing sun rise.” These were the last words I heard from Nick for hours. I got out of [...]

On the road again

The alarm went off before I knew it.  I splashed some water on my face, tried to blow my sinuses through my nostrils, and attempted to get the guys moving. I knew I was in for a long day. Our goal was to reach Fort Collins, Colorado–which was 24 hours away. I opened the door [...]

Drifting through memories

I have sat in a cubicle for four months. Like the song “Little Boxes” on “Weeds,” I feel like I’m made of ticky-tacky and we all look just the same. I have drafts for three children’s books. I have more ideas than time to make any of them happen. And somewhere in the Internet, I [...]

My Moroccan Cab Driver

I had a life-encouraging conversation with a cab driver form Morocco, the country Penny Lane wanted to travel to in Almost Famous–one of my favorite movies. It was one of those moments when you felt like you met someone who introduced you to someone who haled the cab with the driver with whom you were [...]

Through the Redwoods to Eureka!

By the time I closed my Mac, the sun was coming up. I nestled myself into a ball and hugged my pillow as I fell asleep with a smile across my face. This wasn’t a sweet dream. This was a sweet reality.

My Ben Harper Experience

I couldn’t stop thinking of that djembe. I have wanted a drum for a while. Not because I’m even half decent at keeping a rhythm, but sometimes you just need something productive to bang on. I found the perfect little companion at the Folk Music store in Claremont. It was only $100, and at that [...]

The journey continues to Nevada

We started our venture towards Nevada with breakfast at Brandy’s. Evidently Guy from the road house diner show on Food Network did a story on it in Flagstaff. I had the most delicious vegetable omelet…I mean chunks of fresh broccoli, mushrooms and tomatoes. I couldn’t resist the oats pancake that had this savory apple cinnamon [...]
