Welcome to my personal blog, the Thread of Me, where I explore the underside of the rug, where I pull at my threads: parenting, marriage, meaning, beauty, mess, stochasticity through my writing. I hope that one of my threads might be a thread you recognize, a thread you were looking for, a thread you can borrow or one you can keep.
