Hi, and thanks for stopping by, pleased to meet you! When I'm not cooking for my two little kiddos, planning out lessons for my fabulous students, or finding time to write & blog - I'm usually staring into space from exhaustion and in denial about the dishes in the sink. Send me a line and I promise I'll write back
while on autopilot. :)

A 2009 Geraldine Dodge Fellow, I'm also a graduate student at Rutgers University, where I'm studying English and concentrating in Women and Gender Studies.

I wish you happy journaling and resilience!

Oh My!

Wanted: Resilient Ladies

Enjoy a cup of tea while navigating the musings of resilient women, literature, life, simplicity, and culture. I began this blog to celebrate transcendental women throughout the ages and diasporas. Don't be a stranger!

destination II: discovery

my fingers delicately tracing

all that is amazing about this smiling reflection

with eyes that tell stories I will share with two wise children --

a curly haired boy and precocious brown-eyed girl.

my mind malleable,

an open door.

my days bound by the tautness of hope,

a tightrope of tenacity

i walk

falling sometimes

gracefully

happily

into this frantic, messy, blissful life.

i am blinded

by brilliant shards of love

that light

the path

of my beautiful descent 

-- For the Reslience in Us All
