The Day the Light Overtakes Me …
Yesterday, I walk into the woods and into autumn’s first blush: red dogwoods and the crackle of dry leaves underfoot. And I find myself breathing a deep sigh that feels — strangely — like relief. Autumn is usually a hard season for me, in spite of the goodness of hot cider and apple-picking, boots and flannel […]
Same Body, Second Glance: Day Nineteen
July 19, 2014 /// {{Wondering what’s going on here?? Almost a year ago, I found myself on bad terms with the person in the mirror. So I made a commitment: every day for forty days, I’d take *one* photograph of my body that I could honestly see as beautiful. Want to follow my journey? Start here.}}
Same Body, Second Glance: Day Fourteen
July 14, 2014 Let’s talk, for a moment, about the hard parts. The portions of our bodies that are difficult to accept. The picture I’m sharing with you today is a picture of my knees. They’re a little strange, as far as knees go. If I stand with my ankles together, they point slightly toward […]

Same Body, Second Glance: Day Six
July 6, 2014 I’m going to share an image today that is a little scarier for me… one that happened completely by accident. While setting up my camera (a.k.a. my iPhone) for a different shot, I walked into the lens partially dressed, in just a slip and a tank top, and caught sight of myself […]
