Keri in Doorway

Ready to take a
Deeper Dive?

Think it’s time to start breaking down some thought paradigms?

Inspired by fresh ideas, mindful reflections, and a touch of soulful magic?

You’re in the right place! Whether I’m writing about the soul, the culture at large, midlife (which I am smack dab inside), parenting, or our political landscape, the underlying themes are always about:

I’m glad you’re here.

I love to hear your thoughts and comments, so please don’t be shy!

You can find my work...

The Adventure Of A (Human) Lifetime

Possibility Doesn’t Need a Purpose, So Neither Do We

Job-title-less If you’ve been following my work, you know that the one thing I reject more than anything is labeling myself. “What do you do?”, a seemingly innocuous question, feels like a shortcut way of trying to get to know me,...

Post-Pandemic Friendships: It’s Time to “Ride or Die.”

“I’m uncomfortable around your anger,” my best friend admitted to me. She admitted this, because we had the kind of friendship where nothing was off-limits. The kind of friendship where we mirrored each other’s thoughts and finished each other’s sentences....

Why I Love My Thin Skin

I was in my mid-20s when I whispered to my now-husband, literally under the covers, that I didn’t think I was going to live very long. At this point, I was old enough to have been kicked down and shut...
