Who Am I?
I am just a woman on the internet trying to do her part in making the world a little better.
I started Chasing Day Zero as a lifelong project-first to inspire myself, and maybe others, to make the most of each day. A public countdown to my 80th birthday is a reminder that time is limited, but also that I still have it (hopefully).
My hope is that when I reach Day Zero, I can look back and see that I lived fully- that I built community, created art, and left the world at least a little better than I found it.
I am an artist. An author. And most importantly, I am a mother.
I never planned to care about politics- but it turns out everything is pretty damn political when you care about your neighbors, your voice, and basic human rights. I am loyal to no party or organization. I am loyal to humanity-both the best of it and the worst.
So yes, I suppose that makes me an activist, too.
I don’t know what cards I’ll be dealt-but I intend to play them well.
Here’s to Chasing Day Zero.
An honor it will be to make it there.

White Lady Explains Black History Month
This is like Black History Month for Dummies :). (Don’t worry- I know my place in this conversation. I am just sharing what I learned in hopes of encouraging well meaning white people to be curious.)
What I’m Up To:
A humanitarian project to educate myself and others on food insecurity and doing what we can to fill up people’s plates.
Building community is a big job and it can feel hard to know where to start. Here are some resources to get started today!
