I started writing on the internet more than
ten years ago and since then I've started and finished a
PhD program , left the
Mormon church and became
a Quaker ,
got divorced , started a
history podcast , found
full-time work in academia, took up
rock climbing and
outrigger canoeing , and traveled across the globe (
China !
Belgium !
Italy ! Chicago! Montana!
Portland ! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). For my
38th birthday and
25th anniversary of my bone cancer diagnosis, we (meaning me and
you ) bought legs for
a young double-amputee from China.
You might have happened upon this blog because you've heard of my work in the
digital humanities or because you are curious about
living with a disability or because you are also in the midst of a faith transition. Click on any of the links above to find my posts about those particular topics (or use the dropdown links in the nav bar on the blog header). Or, feel free to read a little bit of anything and everything by using the archive links on the right sidebar.
This blog is eclectic and random--it
has poetry and
cooking and
books . And
cats . And
flowers . And the
ocean (my ocean) . But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
Love the lines and color. So fun.
Hey, that’s very good! Rock on, Cat Girl!
