Alcove

Most of my life I've searched out alcoves. When I was a child, I would climb to the top of my closet and tucked into the dimly lit peak would steal time from homework or chores to daydream or finish my book. These days, there are no alcoves for me to escape to (without leaving the child for whom I'm responsible), much less the time to steal, but every so often the evenings afford a little time to sit. And perhaps, I'm hoping, this might be a good vein to record the ramblings of day to day life.

Most of my life I've searched out alcoves. When I was a child, I would climb to the top of my closet and tucked into the dimly lit peak would steal time from homework or chores to daydream or finish my book. These days, there are no alcoves for me to escape to (without leaving the child for whom I'm responsible), much less the time to steal, but every so often the evenings afford a little time to sit. And perhaps, I'm hoping, this might be a good vein to record the ramblings of day to day life and the things I am passionate about.

About Me

My photo
I'm just a mom who used to love to read and write. Nowdays, I do laundry and legos. I also am passionate about empowered childbirth: women having choices and the education to make them. I am Brio certified and teach natural childbirth classes in my spare time. My own childbirth experience was completely without intervention and it was frightening and painful, but also powerful and euphoric. It changed me. The mother and the woman that I am today is because of the strength I found in labor.
