My last few moments in Raton, NM. The final bags are waiting to go downstairs, and as soon as I pack this laptop I will close the door on this chapter of my life. I am eager to go home: to be with my husband, reconnect with friends, see family and my kitties! Yet there [...]

Luckily, today, physically and in metaphor, I am calm and safe and free of the storm in my space. Yesterday, I recognize that not only was I a receiver of [...]
