What I Learned from #100HappyDays
My friends convinced me to share their #100happydays or #100daysofhappiness with them, but somewhere along the way, they’ve let it drop. Too much a chore, I suppose. Or not enough happiness. Or too much crap from other people for being happy. When I embarked on this one-photo-a-day of “happiness,” it wasn’t to force myself to…

How to Survive the Worst Year of Your Life
“How do I survive the worst year of my life?” a young friend asked, around two months after a bad breakup.

Can Empaths Be Cruel? The Science of Evil and Its Effect on What I’m Writing
I’m glad I didn’t read Simon Baron-Cohen’s The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty before I began writing The Secret Lives of Librarians. Not that it’s a bad book. If I’d done more academic research into empathy, narcissism, and evil before beginning my novel, I might have tried to fit Lilah…

Discrimination Against Pagan Religions in the Federal Workplace, and some Good News
Here I am in the heart of the Bible Belt. You can’t throw a stick without doing it in Jesus’ name. This is still the area of the country where you meet someone for the first time and they have 2 immediate questions: 1. What’s your name? 2. Which church do you belong to? One…

I Can Never Get Caught Up—and That’s a Good Thing
I used to kick myself all the time because I could never get caught up. No matter how many hundreds of things I scratched off my to-do list on any given weekend, I would fall into bed on Sunday night feeling like a failure because there was always so much more to do. My last…

In the Environment: Weddings and Wolfpacks
At the beginning of 2010, I paused one night in ritual to think ahead to the next year and what it would bring me. In a moment of clarity, I caught a “whiff” of things to come. Many have come to pass–beautifully–but some, I couldn’t see happening. Two in particular, I did not understand. I…

The Metaphysical Energy of Oil: Earth my Body, Oil my Blood?
I’ve spent so much of the past month concerned about the effects of the Gulf Oil spill on my allergies and asthma that i didn’t notice the shift in the “energy” in the coastal environment where I live. Since I first smelled the wind-driven, gagging, petroleum smell from the controlled burns in the Gulf of…
