LUCILLE IN THE SKY

Nesting

James and I have been hard at work getting everything ready for the baby. Cleaning, organizing, assembling furniture and installing beautiful new hardwood floors in the top floor of our house. The nesting instinct is real, and strong. Not sure which one of us it has hit harder…

Four years ago today, I flew to San Francisco to start a new chapter in my life. Less than three months later, I met Jacquelyn, who was born on this day. Her friendship has brought exponential expansion, inspiration, creativity, art, growth, and community. She has been a significant force in my life and I don’t know what I would do or where I would be without her. Happy birthday, my beautiful friend. And thank you. (Side note: This photo was taken in 2016 at a reading we did for an anthology to which we each contributed essays about motherhood: “Mama Said”)

A favorite tradition, complete with pumpkin pasta and pumpkin cheesecake, the year they are 12, 8, and 4 😻

There’s a silver lining to the Kavanaugh hearing and I wrote a blog post about it—link in profile. This is a highly charged topic and I welcome all feedback. Here’s a teaser: “Thanks to women like Anita Hill, Tarana Burke, Alyssa Milano, and Christine Blasey Ford, our daughters will be more likely to report, or at least confront, their sexual tormentors. Our daughters will be less likely to accept abuse or inappropriate behavior. They won’t pretend it’s okay, or not a big deal, or even normal. Because we are working hard to un-normalize it with #MeToo and the Kavanaugh hearings. The next generation will recognize this pain for what it is, and care for their wounds until they heal—as we are forced to do now. And here’s a silvery lining: There are men out there who’ve hurt women and gone on to marry a (presumably good) woman and make children and live pretty normal lives. Many of them, barring sociopaths and possibly narcissists, recognize themselves in Brett Kavanaugh. They know it could have been them, and they are humbled. The Kavanaugh hearings showed how men can and will get away with abusing women. But it has also shown how these actions start waves of pain that will eventually come back around to them. Men everywhere know they’re not any better than a man people hate. I hope it makes them want to instead be a man people love.” (Art by Allen Dailey who generously gifted the public this piece.) #kavanaugh #believesurvivors #freewomen #anewearth #onward #upward #america #trumpsamerica #strongwomen #alyssamilano #drchristineblaseyford #speakup #speakyourtruth #sexualabuse #silverlining

First your big sister convinces you that it doesn’t hurt to pierce your ears. Then she comes home with dangly clip-on earrings she crafted in jewelry-making class and let’s you wear them behind the studs. Then she does your hair and ties a sparkly ribbon into your ponytail. #littlesister #sisters #girls #glam #wildandfree #divinefeminine #4yearsold #joy #skylawinter

Giovanna, Uma, and Eve. When I see my baby girl nurturing my friends’ baby girls, I think that we [humans] are going to be okay again some day. #joy #giovannafaith #divinefeminine #littlemama #themeekshallinherittheearth
