My Week In Words

in Uncategorized on 05/12/14

Because I’m no good at spiritual disciplines either and I usually feel guilty about it, but if I could pursue God through writing, then I think that would be just fine.

Because I think this little sentence is the way I see the world.

Because in an earlier post this week, I gave some Advent reading suggestions, but Alissa’s meditations are the best. They will leave you hungry, both metaphorically and literally (Jesse, we have to make that Bloody Mary!)

Because I think I related to every word of this essay and I feel horrible about it. So on Thursday, when it was just Hadley and I in the house for an hour, and there were chores to do, and papers to grade, and an essay to put a final touch on, she suggested we play Dots and Boxes by the fireplace, and we did. And we giggled for a long, long time. Our house is a mess but I can’t remember the last time I laughed with Hadley like that.

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.
