    I mostly love writing. It serves me, heals me, and satisfies the creative cat constantly clawing at my insides, trying to get out
  • Машаhas quoted10 years ago
    So when it comes to how my kids are doing at school, I don’t worry about academics. I worry about social things. I worry about their time at lunch, at recess, and on the bus. Mostly children learn to read and add and sit still eventually. But not everybody learns that he and others deserve to be treated with respect. Not everybody learns that he is OKAY and loved and precious and that it’s all right to feel hurt and all right to hurt others, as long as he apologizes and tries to fix what he broke. Not everybody learns that different is beautiful. And not everybody learns to stand up for himself and others, even when it’s scary. Eight is young to navigate a big social sea all by oneself. Thirty-six feels too young sometimes.

  • Машаhas quoted10 years ago
    I went to pee, unrolled some toilet paper, and little sticky notes fell out of the roll, “Happy birthday baby!”
    Teamwork. Love takes teamwork, I think.

    I said to myself, “Self, this too, shall pass.”
