A Veteran’s Take on Heroism

I was recently turned on to Ginmar’s amazing blog A View from A Broad, and I have to say that her voice, as a female veteran, is blunt, direct, and extremely refreshing in this era of prevarication and political correctness. She takes on insanely difficult topics, but does it in such a way that the [...]

Do Something Practical

Fear, Theology, and Death Walking

Those of you who read my Facebook or Twitter know that things with the Bear have, once again, gone downhill. I had no idea how much downhill there could be in one person’s story. Those of you who have read this blog for a while know that I’ve been posting about the Bear’s health sliding [...]

I Give Thanks — Kathryn Mostow

This is just delightful:

Review — A Nation of Farmers

I adore Sharon Astyk. I read her blog semi-religiously, and she’s the closest thing to come to convincing me that moving off the boat and onto dirt might someday be an OK idea. So whenever she cranks out a new book (as she’s been doing lately), I pounce on it. A Nation of Farmers, her [...]

Oakland Dia de los Muertos

I’m taking some time out from my NaNoWriMo writing time to tell you precisely how fantabulous the Oakland Dia de los Muertos festival was. Cause OMG. Where to start? OK how about this. I was alone with three kids walking a mile and a half (cause that’s how far I had to go to park) [...]
