Welcome to my updated website. I feel like my 8-year-old self on the day my dad presented me with a brand new — used — inner tube with my name on it. It was ready to take me places, and I was ready to go.

I hope you’ll browse around a bit and enjoy my riffs on life from the point of view of a woman with a career, a husband, grown-up kids, a conscience — and an incurable case of the human condition.

Anne Lamott on Getting Older — Drop That Rock

It’s time to drop that rock we’ve been carrying around, says Anne Lamott. It’s time to surrender to the fact that we can’t do it all. We’re getting older and it’s time to have ourselves some peace.
