Leap Day: What I Wish it Was
Sometimes at night I lie in bed and imagine what would happen if I had more time. What if a magical fairy came to me and allowed me to step outside of time for a while? What if I could go work on some sewing projects, answer some emails, read a good book, and catch…

What the World Will Be Like in 10,000 Years
I am going to leave on a trip in a couple hours, so I’m doing kind-of a fun silly blog post today. On Facebook, I recently asked people to give me their favorite podcast episodes, and one of the ones suggested was called “Ten Thousand Years,” by 99% Invisible. The podcast was about how the…

My friend Janane was looking over my shoulder and laughing. “What’s so funny?” “Your google drive! Mine is full of random pictures, and yours is full of random documents.” This makes sense when you consider that she is a photographer and I am a writer.
