The Season of Broken Things
I have found that there is power in singing about our oddly-specific woes and worries. Yes, it can feel silly at times, but that is partly why it is so efficacious; it puts our concerns in perspective and forces us out of our own heads. Singing personal little songs is even more helpful when we… Continue reading

A Sunday in My Life
When I first read the Harry Potter series, I tended to rush through the action-adventure scenes because I was so eager to get back to the going-to-school-in-a-magical-Scottish-castle scenes.
