Stories & Snapshots

When you get health insurance money for how many steps you take each day, sometimes you get them in however you can.

Sometimes Lily just needs to be up where the action is.

No better way to end @wildgoosefest 2017 than a perfect, homemade New York Sour with rosemary-infused @evanwilliamsbourbon

Grateful to all who came to my session at @wildgoosefest exploring the tensions between reconciliation and justice. It was encouraging to see how many people find this conversation necessary. I'm emboldened to keep working on this book.

Sometimes, they just need a little one-on-one time.

Dublin City.
#Ireland #dublin #guinness

Time for @tenx9storytelling. Lovely to be home in Belfast town.

At @narrative4movingstories an Israeli Jew and Palestinian Christian walk across bridges, arms around each other, sheltering one another from the rain.

I'm back in #Ireland, this time for @narrative4movingstories annual summit here in Limerick. Wonderful to be back in country, only 30 minutes from the birthplace of my 4th great grandmother. The summit and organization are all about empathy and storytelling, my cups o' tea. Thrilled to be here, taking the next step with #Narrative4. Summit's over Tuesday and then I'll pop up to Belfast for #Tenx9 and seeing old friends.

And here's to new stories and new friends.

As a writer, I've learned that when the Muse comes whispering, you stop what you're doing and follow her promptings...even if that's at 10pm and you've just made yourself a New York Sour. She never promised to be convenient.

Sometimes book writing is quite lonely; other times, it's just the best.

Hey everyone! I made a new website! Link is in my bio. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Tonight, @bittysky and I drink #cabsauv from the @taybehwinery in memory of #nakbaday. On this day 69 years ago, the day after #Israel declared its independence, the surrounding #Arab states invaded and a #war began. During that war, and during the Zionists' ethnic cleansing program the months before, over 750,000 #Palestinians were #displaced. Their descendants are the second largest #refugee population in the world, behind #Syrians. The #Jewish Zionists, in seeking a homeland to belong to, displaced Palestinians from the homeland they belonged to. Everyone needs belonging. Everyone needs safety. Tonight we prayed for a #world where one person's safety and belonging didn't come at the price of another's.

Sometimes your book signing is well attended; sometimes it's not. Tonight was the latter.
