Feature Story: Camiece Kirsten. Camiece is a beautiful and fierce mama to three little dudes. The third of the bunch was still nestled all snug in her belly when we met for a warm drink early one morning back in November. Though I had heard bits and pieces of her story prior to our interview, nothing had prepared me for the honesty and beauty I would encounter that day. This is my story, but it’s also our family’s story. It’s specifically the story of my second son, Milo. Whenever anything happens in lif...

K: Colleen, recently you told me that you just received the best compliment someone could have ever given you. Tell me what was said and why it was so important. C: While I was working at an outdoor buying show for Boone Mountain Sports and 32. K: So, it seems easy for people to comment on outward appearances, but less on the character of a person. Why do you think that is? K: I’m so glad that you mentioned the risk required in order to be known by others. How have you calculated that risk? K: I like how...

The Agony of Trilogy. As a side note, I also remember that year being the last time I made a mix tape]. After I watched several seasons and could no longer tolerate the violence of that program that eventually showed up in my dreams, I moved on to reading books. However, the violence was simply displaced from my head to my heart, as rage coursed through me when I finished the first book of a trilogy and the second was unavailable for checkout. While I can’t remember exactly how. And fully expect Divergent.

Repairing a Rupture with Mother Nature. My heart began to race a bit more as I saw signs indicating this was a protected wildlife habitat. I felt less in control of my surroundings and that’s when a new understanding was unearthed…or maybe it was actually. A guest piece written by one of our readers. A small narrative vignette inviting us all to see the world from behind their eyes and hearts for just a moment. You can submit your short story for consideration here. It is a monumental passing.

If Car Doors Could Talk*. My Happy Hour tonight consists of a 16 oz. decaf latte and pecan bar at Fix Coffeehouse. In the ‘hood listening to my friend Natalie Brown. Perform. Admittedly, it is a very pleasant way to spend a Friday night. Turns out my Seattle neighborhood has much to offer: multiple coffeehouses, tap houses, a giant lake, the best karaoke in town, fro-yo. Thank you, reader Kate Boyd, for the title of this post. A continuation of Sarah’s story which began in Soaked: Part 1. My nap was so c...

Don’t Worry Too MuchPart 4. This is the final post on the story of my birth experience with our 4th daughter which began in Part 1. And continued through Part 2. Her name came to me first. Yes. I reminded myself, I now had a set of four little women. My family was complete. But how can she be okay if I am here connected to all of these tubes? Panic began to set in as I wondered where everyone was…where my baby girl was. Wait. I thought, am I really here? What if something else is wrong? 8230;it’s just yo...

A Year of Abundance. I have always loved the ritual of creating New Year’s resolutions. As my childhood friend Sarah can attest, I’ve jumped at the chance to recreate myself every January since we were in junior high together. I would always commit to something extraordinary like: “This year I will change my personality! 8220;I will practice perfect posture! 8221; “I will memorize at least one poem every week! 2015 began with a colonoscopy in January and ended with a double ear infection and thrush in No...
