Open Your Palm

I recently heard this story of a crosstown New York City bus stuck in rush hour traffic. Everyone on the bus was cold, annoyed and soul-weary. The minimal exchanges of words were curt, eyes cast to the floor and postures slumped. There are just some days when it is just plain...

Bullseye to the Soul

You know when you hear a song (often it's one you don't even like), and suddenly it becomes the soundtrack of your life? In the shower, pulling into the school pick-up line, pushing your cart down the milk aisle at the grocery store, jogging around Radnor Lake, even drifting off...

The Olympics in Rio was a highlight of the summer. Who could choose a favorite Olympian: Usain Bolt, the fastest man on earth, Simone Biles, the mythic gymnast, or the indomitable Michael Phelps in the pool?

Looking for Rainbows

Get the Glow

Recently a friend surprised me with the compliment, "You are glowing!" I was quick to point out the dark circles under my eyes, the unbrushed hair, perfume of breast milk and missing lipstick-----All signs of a very sleep-deprived over-the-hill mother of a six-week old baby.
