    “Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain…”

    It’s been a busy, hot and sweaty few days in Oklahoma, but it sure has been a blast. Every year I meet and get to know more and more people who attend Mark Harmon’s event. They event felt much more low-key this year. There were a few people who were a little too pushy and

    “Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.” Woody Guthrie

    Hot. When I have previously driven to OKC, I’ve able to slowly adjust to the heat – usually as I make my way through Wyoming, Colorado and into New Mexico. By the time I make it to Oklahoma City, I’m relatively adjust to the blistering heat of the summer. But when I fly in, there is

    “Never run after a man or a bus, there’s always another one in five minutes.” ― Cherry Adair, Kiss and Tell

    Wow, what an incredible weekend. One that has left me near brain dead, but also full of inspiration, drive and this sparkling shred of hope that maybe I really can do this. I was lucky enough to spend the past Wednesday – Monday with five other (ah-mazing) women as we slaved our way through plots

    “Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.” E. B. White

    Yo. I just bought a car. Like a real grown-up car. One that I had to finance because I don’t have nearly twenty grand in cash lying around. Let me start that, while I knew this day was coming, I’m not sure I was ready for it. But I jumped in with both feet and

    “I learned all about life with a ball at my feet.” ~ Ronaldinho

    It’s that time of year again. I like to think I keep fairly busy: work, extra baby-sitting gigs, writing group, GSRWA and of course the basics like sleeping, eating and doing laundry. But from March through October, a full eight months out of the year soccer seems to squeeze out an extraordinary amount of time.  Soccer

    “That’s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up.” – Walt Disney

    Two words encompass Disney World: Mickey. Magic. It has been twenty years since my last visit to Disney World. I had been to Disneyland a few times (three between 2002 and 2010, I think), but the comparison between the two is non-existant. When I was offered the chance to go along with the family I

    “The legs are the wheels of creativity.” – Einstein

    When the writing gets personal… I was given the writing prompt to ‘write about something you’ve yet to finish’, in hopes of sparking some inspiration to get it done. I have a long list of works-in-progress, but one of my favorite things is likely something I will never truly finish or aim to publish. From

    “We rise by lifting others.” – Robert Ingersoll

    (This is a horrible jumbled mess as I can’t seem to really pull my thoughts together). I am absolutely heartbroken over the terrorist attacks in Paris. I was just there, and I met some wonderful people who are no-doubt living in fear after what happened as they try to go about their daily lives. But

    Dear Santa, I’ve been good for the last week or so. Let’s just focus on that.

    November and December are probably my most favorite part of the year. Yes, the actual holidays are nice, but there is something about the coziness of this time of year. Yes it gets dark early, yes it’s cold and dreary. But the dark evenings make candles glow brighter. The cold nights make hot cider taste

    “Soccer isn’t the same as Bach or Buddhism. But it is often more deeply felt than religion, and just as much a part of the community’s fabric, a repository of traditions” – Franklin Foer

    Sounder love. The Sounders have been part of my life since 1994. Twenty-one years spent laughing, crying, cheering, angry, elated, frustrated, thrilled, disappointed, overjoyed and well, fucking pissed (I mean, losing to Portland in the playoffs? For the love of…). I was a shy kid growing up. Like, painfully shy. So when I saw kids getting
