She loved to walk and in more recent years had trained for and hiked El Camino de Santiago in Spain. In her honor, my husband takes many walks with a weighted backpack.

What my physical pain is teaching me.

What my physical pain is teaching me.

Last week my family and I, along with some of our dearest friends, camped in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) for four nights. It's wild there.

NEW: Marilyn Square Locket Necklace in Silver and Gold

Something new, something square and small but not tiny. Something of a namesake legend, after my mother, the woman who mothered me, birthed me, connected beyond it all, transcendent of this form, of differences in spirit and belief, style and design. The Marilyn Locketmakes me think of a square peg in a round hole, which is kind of my Mom and I.
