If I’m not outside hiking the bluffs along the Mississippi River where I live, I’m probably indoors with a stack of books (usually three or more at once), a journal, or a fresh list I’m making purely for the joy of it. I help women track their menstrual cycles and align their lives with those rhythms, and I’m a bit of a pattern-spotter in general. Moon phases, astrology transits, bird migrations, the seasonal shifts in nature...they all fascinate me. I have a (not so) mild obsession with cicadas, I love hobbies that slow time, and I’m a big fan of hand-wrtitten letters and “fun mail".
