Britany B
Britany is currently lost in Houston, but not worried because she brought plenty of snacks. An avid traveler with a wild, squishy heart--she birthed one baby in New Orleans, the other, in Amsterdam. She recently bought a dog, named him Dragon, and brags to strangers about it. In a former life, she owned a wedding planning business; misses the free cake, the most. When she isn’t avoiding cooking AT ALL COSTS, she is trying to squeeze out some good words, hoping to make a living by using her imagination and pen to scare children (the next great kidlit series, they say). She prefers her drinks dirty. Is anxious. Kind of wishes it was Halloween. And will likely hug you a beat too long and make it weird.

Dreaming of Chamomile :: Celebrating Better Sleep Month
Sleep.
That elusive, fickle, spectacular magic.
Restorative. Sublime. Requirement for your continuous breath {she a diva}.
I think about her, often. Curse her name in the dark. Sacrifice my beauty in an attempt to gain her favor.
She...

That's dramatic. I’ve...
Progress Report :: Does this New Homeschool Mom Make the Grade?
Homeschooling wasn't an activity I envisioned sharing with my offspring.
I'm not a natural teacher. I'm also pretty selfish with my time.
Also, math. EW.

I wish I was writing this post from my favorite coffee shop, frequenting the counter for more Matcha.

Windows :: My View from Quarantine and Other Stories
Lucas and Mae are in love, but prefer to walk separately.
Mae, several feet ahead, staring back at her husband of 27 years, as she jogs.
Backwards.
They keep eye contact, but he makes sure to scout...
The Power of Strangers :: How to Make Room at Your Table
When he first approached my table, I barely gave him a glance. He wasn't carrying the coffee I ordered. Not holding a puppy, either. There was nothing I needed from him.
Just a stranger.
