Can I just have a second to talk about grey? People say that black is the best color to wear, and they say it’s the most versatile and the best and all that jazz. I beg to differ. Because you’re not supposed to wear black with brown. Or blue. Or navy. (As if I followContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

NEW INSTRUMENTAL LOVE
THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT TODAY IS THAT I (FINALLY) BOUGHT A MANDOLIN. I said to myself, “NELL. Look, I know it costs money to buy a new instrument. But, you get to decide what your life looks like. And do you want more music in it or not?” And I also said to myself (asContinueContinue reading “NEW INSTRUMENTAL LOVE”
And the Good News is this…
I have a darling friend, Chester (name changed), who goes to my church. He’s an older man, dark-skinned and missing teeth. If you didn’t know any better, you might think that he was homeless. But, he’s not homeless. He just walks with a bit of a shuffle, wears a scraggly beard, and sometimes smells likeContinueContinue reading “And the Good News is this…”
And then I wrote a fiery email…
You all know that I endorse the podcast Three Dogs North like what. Well. I was listening to this one yesterday, and I was prompted to write a fiery email. So fiery. If you want, listen to the podcast. If you don’t want to listen: basically, in that episode, they talk a lot about thisContinueContinue reading “And then I wrote a fiery email…”
OUTDATED SKILLS
This is kind of irrelevant/ kind of relevant to the story at hand, here, but, once when I was in middle school, since my dad is an engineer he signed me up for SCIENCE COMPETITIONS instead of ballet/ tap/ jazz like most normal, suburban girls. The thing about the science competition I was a partContinueContinue reading “OUTDATED SKILLS”
2016 Resolutions
1. I want to use up most if not all of my gift cards. They hang heavy over my head otherwise. I don’t use them because gifts make me uncomfortable. GET OVER YOURSELF, NELL. USE THEM. So, yeah…anyone want to go out to dinner? 😀 2. Bird watch. At least once. Sign up for myContinueContinue reading “2016 Resolutions”

“Incarnation” — for Kathryn
This past year my friend, Kathryn, joined a convent. She sent me a Christmas card and she was like, “You should write something about the Incarnation.” Since buying gifts for nuns is hard anyway, this is kind of her Christmas present. Merry Christmas, Sistah Kate. It’s not the best, but I tried. (Also, I haveContinueContinue reading ““Incarnation” — for Kathryn”
We are not promised good friends…
On January 1, 2016, I woke up at 5:something a.m., with my sister, in a dry room with dated bedspreads. We shuffled down the stairs, across the halls, and into the equally parts stunning and inspiring…and…welcoming and home-y chapel in Marytown. We had gone to bed probably after 1:00 a.m. The new year, after all.ContinueContinue reading “We are not promised good friends…”
