"That got me thinking…"

At “That got me thinking…” I post thoughts on any of the topics below, depending where my creative energies are focused:

Parenting: As my children are now in middle school and high school, the particulars have changed since they were younger, but the fundamental question of how to interact with them remains. It’s a wonderful and terrifying phase, and we are all adjusting to new levels of freedom and independence.

Prayers: As a committed Christian and Anglican, my spiritual life revolves around using the Book of Common Prayer and practicing ancient disciplines of prayer, meditation, silence. I’m also a trained Spiritual Director. I am currently accepting new directees (locally in person, or anywhere via online chatting tools). Please contact me if you would like to know more!

Poetry: Rediscovering a love of poetry has awakened some piece of me that I thought might have been left behind in high school. Imagine my surprise to discover the poet within has not given up the ghost, but has been beautifully hidden and growing; only now am I realizing that it’s the long planted and forgotten seeds emerging. I’ve been ferociously reading and writing more poetry these days.

Photography: I enjoy taking photos; not only is the process fulfilling, but the outcomes are sometimes quite good; I’m also enjoying having a place to share some of what I capture.  I’ve ventured out with my husband to start a business on the side: Drum Drum Photo. Certainly be in touch if you’d like to book a session, or would like to order custom items (calendar, notecards, prints) from any of my photos.

Pedagogy: I am on an educational journey with my children. We have homeschooled, been at Plumfield Academy and are on a very positive journey with the public school system.

Produce (or phood):  My interest in slow food, whole food, gardening, environmental impact and all the rest has ebbed and flowed in recent years.  I strive for better (not perfect) and am inspired to photograph food in my kitchen.
