“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” ― Annie Dillard
Turning fifty made me pause and pay attention to the passage of time. My blog helps me stay in the present, where life is lived. I chronicle the quirks, small moments, and flares of brilliance that often get overlooked in the daily routine.
My essays have appeared in Austin Woman and Barnard Magazine.
“Each day has a story that deserves to be told, because we are made of stories. I mean, scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories. We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are. Identity is no museum piece sitting stock-still in a display case, but rather the endlessly astonishing synthesis of the contradictions of everyday life.” Eduardo Galeano

Go Elizabeth!
You are an exquisite artist with words and images and ideas as your palette.
I found your blog a year or so ago, and it stuck with me. I’m three years off of fifty myself (which alternately freaks me out, and doesn’t) and you’ve given me something to think about. (And, I recently started doing yoga. 🙂 ) Anyway I saw a blog post the other day (you may have already seen it – it’s over a year old) and for some reason thought of you. Here it is:

I haven’t finished mulling it over myself but continue to do so.
Thanks for your blog posts.
Thank you for your comment! I’m just now finding a quiet space to read the article and I will write more later. I wanted to send a quick note of appreciation until then.

Hi Beth, I see your smiling face at all the same blogs that I like so we must have a lot in common – virtual tribe members. You are in Michigan, correct? We have a house in Grand Rapids and are planning on visiting more as the girls get into high school. I truly appreciate your support.
Yes, I live in Ann Arbor and my pleasure)
