The city we live in gets notoriously heavy early morning fog. This is always true in the Spring and the Fall. I don’t know if it is the presence of the Rhine/Rhone Canal that is just a hop skip and a jump from our front door, or if it is our proximity to the RhineContinue reading “The Fog”

Posture Thoughts
One of my 22 goals for 2022 was to improve my posture. Now, if you are like anyone else I know, just seeing the word “posture” caused you to square your shoulders a little bit. We all know we should stand up straight. We know this because we have all seen old people, hunched overContinue reading “Posture Thoughts”

I myself am neither. But I am parent to two little boys who are everything I am not: one who is both aContinue reading “Body Positivity and Health”
Back to the Circus
I told you a while ago that I dreamed of being an aerialist in the circus. (Although those of you who know me personally would be tragically tempted to peg me as a clown, the cute, curious, innocent one with the flower growing from her hat. Ainsi soit-il.) There are lots and lots of reasonsContinue reading “Back to the Circus”
Join the Circus
The circus. I dream of the circus. I don’t dream of going to the circus, no, no, no! I want to run away and join the circus. While I never thought I would have children, this has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. I remember my mother singing “GoodbyeContinue reading “Join the Circus”
