You, Me, and Our Refrigerator
There’s a new photo on the refrigerator. I didn’t think much of it when I put it there. We’d just gone home from another party, another memory, and I put it there so it won’t get lost in my bag. But now as I walk past it, I can’t help but marvel at how this…

Writing Prompt #1: Pick Six Words
I’m starting this new thing, where I post my writing prompts every time I feel like I’m doing a terrible job being a writer, which happens more often than I’m comfortable to admit.

All the Love I Have for You
I wrote this for my son’s 3rd birthday: Some love is loud. It demands to be seen, to be felt, to be screamed to the heavens. It’s the love that doesn’t need to be announced because it bolts right in. This is the kind we reserve for the big moments—birthdays, milestones, tiny victories. When we…
