We love house guests. Especially the kind who play us their new songs after they come home from being in the recording studio all day. I've had @erinkaustin's band @oksweetheart on heavy Spotify rotation ever since meeting her at @writedoebay a few years

I just came across this photo that one of the women at the retreat snapped of me yesterday, after I'd said goodbye to all of them and was walking down the hill to gather my things. I remember this moment because I could feel them all on the porch watching

Found this photo yesterday on Mark's phone. I'd used it one afternoon when my phone died and I couldn't bear not to capture this shot. The last four weeks have been a happy blur of nonstop travel. From the warm sandy beaches and southern charm of Charlest

Saturday afternoon in Dahlonega. He came to visit me on my break, and we walked in the woods and we sat by this pond and we listened to the bullfrogs and it was good.

FaceTime faces. I feel constantly torn between this work that I love and these girls that I love. Grateful that they have such a good dad.

A serene setting for our 4th Motherless Daughters retreat. We have women attending from 16 different states in the US. A beautiful sisterhood. #motherlessdaughters #motherlessdaughtersretreats

Road tripping with @sherlockhope to our Motherless Daughters Retreat. We accidentally took a detour off the highway, trying to avoid an oversized vehicle, and the map ended up rerouting us directly passed the hospital where I was born. Felt like my mom wa

He picked me up at the airport. We were wearing the same color shirt. All day I've been thinking about this Adrienne Rich quote I pulled from Dani Shapiro's new book. "An honorable human relationship in which two people have the right to use the word "lov

LAX ✈️ ATL || Notes from seat 25F I'm on a plane again. A cheap window seat towards the back. Scribbling notes for my book, pausing to stare out the window, calculating what time it is back home, what my girls are doing in school right now. And c

Tuesday morning. Get up, make coffee. Put on @theheadandtheheart, open all the windows, make the beds, make breakfast, say good morning to the squirrel waiting on the patio, give her some nuts. Watch these two playing at the table. Pause for a moment, all

Welcome to Sunday Mourning, a weekly series about grief. . Today I've been thinking about what it means to go through a holiday missing someone you love. The holidays always serve to illuminate loss. Even if it's a holiday you wouldn't normally care abou

Waking up on Wednesday morning. Last week's seashells, this week's new memoir. I've been talking about @daniwriter's Hourglass for months. I'm so glad everyone else finally gets to read it now too. I need to know if I'm not the only one who cried from all
