Empath, mother, writer, teacher, librarian, advocate, kindness ambassador. In essence, I love books, technology, writing every day, lengthy conversations, hearing my son laugh and spending quiet time every day being thankful.
I could have easily titled this “The Monthly Magpie,” a print (Kelsey) publication of my adolescence as Anon E. Moose. But I’m an old anonemoose monk now and the entries come much more often. }:- a.m. [Celtic Lakota Franciscan Sufi Buddhist monk]
