You’re invited to my Sanctuary…
…come and know that you are a wild & holy gift to the world.
This is my safe place to write and be. Right and wrong. Thought and feeling. Soul food. To nourish us with subjective truth and objective light.
I am a 44-year-old writer and travel entrepreneur married to a professional musician (53) newly diagnosed with early onset dementia. We are a big ol’ blended ‘Brady Bunch’ family with his (29d +[29sol, 1gd] & 19s), mine (20s & 18d) and ours (4d & 3s). It’s a gorgeous cacophony and privilege to cradle this precarious life.
Our new family mandate:
MAKE MEMORIES NOW. BIG ONES. DO IT AFRAID. DO IT MESSY. DO IT SAD. But DO IT so we never regret what is left undone. And then; write for our life.
I no longer have an idealized roadmap for the the future. A blank canvas stretches ahead. It’s terrifying and transcendent.

Stay up-to-date
This isn’t analog, but words delivered straight to your inbox FEEL an awful lot like it— a veritable Penpalian version of what email provoked in 2004. For the love of Xanga, you won’t have to worry about missing a thing. Down with the algorithms. Death to the feeds. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox and is delivered with joy. From me.
Joyfully,
Kirsten
