  1. I went to a party and a conference broke out: My Blogher09 recap

    (Note: I apologize for the weird line breaks in this post. I can't seem to fix them!) I've needed a week to digest my first Blogher experience. Bottom line: Blogher09 was a mixed bag for me.  Read more >

  2. She ran, and I found her

    When I was born, my mother named me Heather. She loved the beautiful resiliency of those purpley-pink, stalky flowers. Somehow she knew I would need this flower’s characteristic ability: to withstand shock, to adjust easily to misfortune.  Read more >

  3. Top 10 Things I'm Psyched For @Blogher09

    In two days, I’ll be heading to Chicago to my very first blogging conference. When I started this blog seven months ago, I had no idea that there were so many bloggers out there. And now, I get to meet about 1,400 of them. Or at least 5. Including my roommies, (Rachel and Julia) who graciously are letting me crash in their room.  Read more >

  4. Hi, I'm Lynn @ human, being

    OMG I'm going to Blogher 09. Yessiree bob. I will be among those 1500 people vying for all the good swag and the karaoke microphone. And maybe a free drink. Even though I have a wedding dress to fit into in 74 days. Here are a few things about me:  Read more >

  5. I don't want to be fat on my wedding day and other Random Tuesday Thoughts

    One. I don’t want to be fat on my wedding day. I’ve not stuck with my no-sugar, no-gluten diet and daily workout for the past several days. After losing almost 3 pounds in the first two weeks of eating very clean, I slipped up when I had to travel for work last week. I avoided all the pastries set out as snacks in our meeting room. I didn’t have a single coffee, even though I was two hours ahead of my normal body clock. But on Thursday night, I had three  Read more >

  6. I broke her heart

    When you’re 8, you shouldn’t have suffered any bigger loss than perhaps losing a favorite toy or having a friend move away. You deserve to live your first decade (at least) with your heart intact. Tonight, I broke Lauren’s heart when I told her about Sunny’s death. I had to do it. Her dad was going to leave it up to my mom to explain where Sunny is next Wednesday when Lauren goes for a three-day visit. He was too chickenshit to take this on. He didn’t want to be the one to cause her heart to crack. But I thought that was wrong, and not my mom’s responsibility.  Read more >

  7. Goodbye, sweet puppy

    This morning, I walked into an email from my mother letting me know that they had to put my golden retriever, Sunny, to sleep last night. He was 12. He was a pretty, dark copper boy with lovely blond feathering, a ready smile and a love of getting the squeakers out of squeaky toys.  Read more >

  8. The first 10 pounds

    I bought my wedding dress last summer. Since then, I’ve put on about 7 pounds and while the dress fits, it’s uncomfortable. Ultimately, I’d like to shed the 20 pounds I’ve put on in the past 2 years (thanks to the Fucking Mirena), but given my past history with difficulties dropping weight easily, I will be happy to lose 10 so I can comfortably wear my beautiful gown.  Read more >

  9. Apparently, I'm not allowed

    Today Judi, my therapist, and I began working on my core beliefs around money. We’re using a process called PSYCH-K, which uses a variety of energy points, body postures, movements, affirmations and muscle testing to identify and reformat misaligned subconscious beliefs. Yes, yes, a little “out there,” but then a lot of the stuff that seems to work for me tends to be unconventional. The conventional stuff helps a bit, but it seems to get more at the symptoms than the root cause of issues (see every blog since April re: Wellbutrin).  Read more >

  10. Spa Bliss for my 40th Birthday

    I am not 40. No, really. My driver’s license may proclaim today to be my 40th birthday, but my skin and toes say otherwise. Because today, Laurel and I celebrated the beginning of the second half of our lives at Copperfalls Aveda Spa in Castle Rock. And not only am I big bowl of mush, I am absolutely glowing.  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm just another human, trying to find the balance between doing and just being. I'm a mom, a worker, a writer, a photographer, a salsa dancer, a belly button gazer, a ferret owner, a lover. I live in Denver, Colo. in a townhouse that's too small for my family, drive a Honda Civic and hope to win the Powerball so I can alleviate both of these ills.

My blog is a continuing essay on my life. Sometimes I'm a little to deep for my own good, but screw it, I like myself that way.
