  • Showing Her God

    Showing Her God

    When my six-year-old asks me about God, I don’t give her definitions-I show her sunsets, kindness, oceans, and love. I want her first introduction to be of the good ones, and to see that wonder itself might be where God lives.

    Becoming My Mother, Becoming Myself.

    On inherited traditions, discipline, and the quiet struggle of raising a child without repeating the past.
