About

I am a home base, partner, mother of three, grower, creator, warrior, (music) maker, (peace) keeper, balancer, lover, observer, teacher, transformer, culinary alchemist, mender, builder, defender, steward, Christian, human being.

This blog is a record of the conscious cultivation of my home sphere.   A home sphere made of fabric and rising bread.  Routines and rough edges.  Explosions and blissful stillness.  Sand in the bathtub and bicycles left out in the snow.  And, beyond that, a home sphere of the heart.  An inner harbor from which to ask “what is it that matters most in this passing-in-a-blink moment on earth?”

I believe we are all in search of home. Whether we are singles or shepherds to a family of seven; stay at home parents, career driven, or by default bread winners; watching the world go by from the window of a nursing home or staring up at the ceiling from a bassinet, we are fighting to find a harbor in a sea of excess that reels up like monsters of the maps of old.  A sphere that was once given to us from tradition, now stands before us largely abandoned and forgotten, waiting to evolve by our hands, newly each day.  We are all of us searching for a harbor to rest and hear the Still Small Voice Within whisper to us, “Do not forget, this is why you came to earth.”

Although I do not often speak of it explicitly, my worldview is deeply shaped by Anthroposophy and Waldorf values in the home.  Are you wondering about this path?  I am always happy to answer questions.  Please reach out via email or join in the conversation by commenting.  I would love to hear from you!

My hope is that among these pages you will find something that helps you find your harbor, if even for a moment.  Because a moment can shift the course of an entire life.
