Diving into Darkness, Breathing in the Light. November 9, 2016. Dear Rebecca and Brand,. You’re in the other room, asleep, while your Papa and I sit here in bed, nervously awaiting the results of our Presidential Election. Right now, things do not look good. I vow to raise you to shine your light. I vow to shine my own. Mother, wife, friend, writer, teacher. In that order, with no shame. View all posts by thepursuitofyou →.

Homecoming | The Pursuit
https://thepursuitofyou.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/homecoming
Truth and Minivans →. August 31, 2016. Today, after dropping off my daughter at her first day of Pre-Kindergarten, I headed over to Bainbridge Yoga House. My teacher, a lovely woman named Jen. Started out the class with a question. She asked us what “homecoming” meant to us. It could be at any level but football, she joked. She asked us to chat in groups of two or three. Two women in front of me turned and invited me to join them. After class, my two friends introduced me to the teacher in a more formal ...

Terence Crutcher →. September 14, 2016. Crying in the minivan. This was as much of a first day shot as I could get. Poor kiddo. Did I mention they both have colds and are snotting all over the place? It would be one class, three days a week, Public Speaking. The time worked out perfectly with the kids’ school and drop off times. It would put me back in the classroom. Make me some money. I should jump on this, I thought. I called the in-laws to arrange free time for the interview later that day, and hurri...

Monthly Archives: July 2016. July 18, 2016. It felt a little like being in the circus. Having two kids under five is pretty much a circus anyway: roaring bears and flying trapezes and juggling acts occur on the daily in our house. But today, at lunch, it … Continue reading →.

Dogma | The Pursuit
https://thepursuitofyou.wordpress.com/2016/11/30/dogma
November 30, 2016. You’re looking into the face of my new spiritual advisor. Her name is Malama Pearl. She’s an eight week old Great Pyrenees puppy, fluffy and sweet and nippy. I can already tell you that she has very sharp teeth. If you had told me six months ago that we would be raising a puppy that would eventually weigh more than me, I would have laughed in your face. I wanted a sweet little lap dog. I wanted snuggles. I wanted Lady from Lady and The Tramp. Like I said, she’ll be a BIG dog. You know ...

Terence Crutcher | The Pursuit
https://thepursuitofyou.wordpress.com/2016/09/20/terence-crutcher
September 20, 2016. My white son will most likely never have to worry about being pulled over in a car and shot. My brown daughter, perhaps not either, but she will grow up with different obstacles because she is brown skinned and female. Both are human. Both are responsible for themselves and the way they participate in society. Terence Crutcher, I dedicate my parenting to you, today. We will play and love and be kind. I wish there was more I could do in your name. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

Bonds | The Pursuit
https://thepursuitofyou.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/bonds
Diving into Darkness, Breathing in the Light →. October 4, 2016. I’m sitting here at Storyville Coffee company staring at a pile of documents: my birth certificate, my baptismal certificate, my marriage certificate, my social security card, and both my parents’ death certificates. It’s a little heavy. All this means that I need to do the following:. Call the Department of the Treasury to see what forms I need to fill out. Fill out said forms. Prove that my parents are indeed dead. They were both 76 years...
