When I read - “Oh my gosh! how many ways can a woman mess up!? First, I put the poem in with the wrong title, no less, and then don’t press send. But here, here friends, is the poem, and a red-faced, laughing apology for the mistake. Rose...

I’ve been thinking about something Duke women’s basketball coaches Dawn Staley and Kara Lawson say: “Handle hard better.” Isn’t that something worth sitting with?
Because life doesn’t necessarily get easier. But we can get wiser. We just k...
Accents by Denice Frohman
Accents
My mom holds her accent like a shotgun,
With two good hands.
Her tongue, all brass knuckle

Her hips, all laughter and wind clap
She speaks a sanchocho of Spanish and English,
Pushing up and a...

After He’s Decided to Leave
When the bottle of hot sauce shattered in the kitchen

I believe in a world where everyone is free & equal. A human rights activist within the LGBTQ+ community, I am a person of faith who lives into hope. I am at home in nature, hiking mountains and being at the sea. Peace.
I find courage in the beautiful life I am living. I find courage in my family, my friends, the work of my heart. I love reading, exploring, being outside. I find beauty in the little things and getting quiet enough to experience them.
I write about the beautiful, messy work of being human. Expect stories of family, caregiving, blindness, poetry, leadership, laughter, and the everyday moments that remind us we’re not meant to navigate life alone.
