Wrenched

I can't feel you around me like I thought I would. I had no doubt you'd live forever — as I've always believed that god / love / energy never dies, it just transforms — but I ache for the way you used to exist. A text away, long and heartfelt phone calls. A hug, one … Continue reading Wrenched →

Oh, Mom

My mom passed away April 20, 2018 - the most unexpected and tragic event of my life. I wrote a speech for the Celebration of Life, and when I chose to post it on my blog, I wrote an intro explaining it (read here). However, here is the speech that poured from me while the … Continue reading Oh, Mom →

Mommy

I know there was a day when you were something other than my mom - those photos you have of the Pre-Mom phase are so surreal that they may as well have been a different incarnation entirely - but since it's not in my consciousness, those Pre-Me days, it's like you've only ever been my … Continue reading Mommy →

There’s this guy, and these two little girls, and they’ve stolen my heart and held it safely in their hands for me, and I, lucky dog, get to keep and protect theirs. They’re my people, my everything. The reason I get up everyday and the reason I work and laugh and pray and cry and dream and am happy happy happy. And I will never have enough words, in any language, or be able to give enough hugs and love, or share enough silly social media posts, to have them understand even a smidgen of what loving them feels like for me. They are my perfectly imperfect life that I have the honor of living. I am deeply blessed. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Testimonials

“Ok. I am absolutely obsessed with the fact that you named your blog the amazing dodo. I thought you hated that name! But it’s my name for you and I use it because of how much I love you and to see you using it like that makes me so friggin happy, I can’t even. And also, I absolutely love your writing. It is a beautiful gift and I am so glad you are letting yourself do it! You inspire me. And I love you so damn much, my Dodo.” - Dodo's baby sister who gave her this awesome nickname when she was a baby because she couldn't pronounce her real name

All We Need is Love

I feel the closest to Love/God when I write. I am not a religious person, on the contrary, God has been a hard nugget to swallow in this life. Recently I became aware that Love is God, and God is Love, and if you read the Bible or any Truth and swap out your God’s name with “Love” it will have the same meaning. To me, I need this word change, as my literal mind believes God is an external man that lives in the clouds and judges us all, allows mass pain and ugly to fill our lives. Love though, oh Love, that’s why we are here isn’t it? It’s the highest energy level that exists and wondrously never ceases to prevail. It is the weed that grows through the cracks of our souls and brings us back to ourselves. All we need is Love, and Love is all we need.
