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 thisContinue 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OUTDATED SKILLS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 The thing about the science competition I was a partContinue reading "OUTDATED SKILLS"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.

“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 haveContinue 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.Continue reading "We are not promised good friends…"

Advent Tuesday #4 | All is calm. All is weird.
That night there were homeless, abiding in the alleys and crevices of buildings, keeping watch over their assorted plastic grocery bags by night. And they weren't your down-on-their-luck homeless who just need a stroke of good fortune and they'll be back in a good job and an apartment again. No, these are the kind whoContinue reading "Advent Tuesday #4 | All is calm. All is weird."

A few weeks ago now, I gave a talk at the youth group where my friend volunteers. It was there that I learned that this friend, who I have known for years, wasContinue reading "Advent Friday #3"
