Growing up I learned that the brain stopped developing once a person became an adult and overtime brain cells would die and the brain would atrophy.

We Die a Little or the Art of the Sequence
It’s all a flow, Mama. We keep the flow going and we’re good. And so we drove back wiping tears from our face, knowing that whatever will come next will be full of moments of grace and gratitude.

It usually takes me 15 minutes to walk from my house to the park. It’s part of my day I enjoy thoroughly. Why… Continue reading A Walk to the Park

Costly to Body and Self
Change is something we resist. It makes sense. Change is often costly to the body and self. Resisting or avoiding rapid change seems instinctual or protective. As I’ve gotten older, I can see this more clearly. I often do things a certain way because it has worked in the past. When confronted with a different… Continue reading Costly to Body and Self
