life // to give you a future and a hope

life // to give you a future and a hope

The answer has lingered for a long while. Listen and glean, think and share. I can manage the first three without lifting a finger, it comes easy to me. If I sit still long enough, life stories come to me. They, however, don’t go the other way. I have had more than one counselor/pastor suggest finding that one person that I can spill my insides to, three years later, I’m still wondering when…

Emporiyum comes to D.C.

Emporiyum comes to D.C.

The Emporiyumis a food-extravaganza and this past summer, it was in Baltimore and much to my sadness, I didn’t make it (mind you cider was had and dinner at Woodberry Kitchen so it wasn’t really a loss).

photo life: week in review

It was a week full of craziness. Unplanned building maintenance forced me from my office for the week and I learned something, this former homeschooler can’t focus on work for an entire week at home. #shamefaced. So I found places to go to shake things up. From my ever-beloved Union Market, to a lunch date with happy Henry and Liz, to the home of the best baked goods in D.C. (outside of my…
