1 year. This comes to mind as I stare at the images of this sweet family: just 1 year ago, the smallest of this group was not here. Just 1 year ago, his name was being spoken in excited whispers. 1 year. When your entire life as you know it has been 365 days, how … More 1 Year

Think. A lake. A waterfall. A mountain. A gorge. I personally find deep fascination with bringing about the new, … More Nature is an awful thing.

I Am Seeing Red. In more ways than one. It’s everywhere. And even just a dot of it demands all the attention. Big thanks to Taylor, a girl that I met on our very own MBTA Blue Line, for the collab.
