A Battle Cry: 2020 Hasn’t Crushed Us.

December 20, 2020 By Caroline Peterson 2 Comments

Don’t get me wrong, 2020 has pummeled us.  2020 has held my head under water, yanked it back out by my hair and allowed me just enough air to catch my breath, right before shoving me back under again.  But, I won’t let it take me down. I’m a formidable contender, you know?  Whatever fight […]

Decency Won. Disinformation Persists.

November 12, 2020 By Caroline Peterson 2 Comments

Words for Us: A Vote for We, Not Just Me.

September 27, 2020 By Caroline Peterson 9 Comments

If you’re finding yourself shouting that we’ve read about this in history books, we’ve seen how this plays out based on the past, we know where we are heading because we’ve watched other countries march into their future to the same vicious drum beat, then know you aren’t alone. I often find myself too frustrated […]

Moving in the Middle of a Pandemic + Saying Goodbye. Again.

July 13, 2020 By Caroline Peterson 5 Comments

The act of picking up and moving again is so much more complex than the single word, “Goodbye,” would lead you to believe. If it was all that easy. Just wave goodbye and wash away the feelings that come along with closing chapters and moving on. I’ve said goodbye to more people over the last […]
