Snow Days

in Uncategorized on 24/02/15

We’ve had a couple of snow days here and there. Last week, we had a day off from school plus a delay, and Saturday the snow started to fall around nine in the morning and didn’t stop all day. Snow days are always a nice pause. I wondered if I’d think that when I went back to work, and I… View Post

Create365 – Soundtrack of Your Life

in Uncategorized on 17/02/15

In January I wrote about my New Year’s Resolution, and so far I’ve been finding ways to pursue this endeavor. I also mentioned that sometimes I’d write about what it is I’m creating, and I’d like to share the Soundtrack of Your Life project that was the first project I assigned my students in 2015. Basically, what they were to… View Post

My Week In Words

in Uncategorized on 13/02/15

Because the structure of this sentence startled me in church when I heard it and I had to write it down. I guess it’s a poetic example of “fully God, fully human.” Because I’m reading L’Engle’s Glimpses of Grace in the mornings while my coffee brews (instead of checking my phone; a terribly boring and trite habit I’m desperately trying… View Post

Testing the Waters

in Uncategorized on 10/02/15

On Saturday night I spoke at Washington Christian Academy’s Annual Banquet. It was a huge honor and thrill, and today I’m sharing what I wrote on the blog. What I wrote is long, but if you’ve been following along in this space for awhile, you know it takes me a country minute to say what I need to say.   Have… View Post

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.

When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth k When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth knock out during a baseball game. I was in the dugout, trying to make a butterfly in the dirt with my shoe. The batter, who’d hit not just a home run, but a grand slam, came running in and everyone cheered and so did I because I’d gotten really good at reading cues for when a good thing happens in sports. I even attempted a high five, and somehow I knocked my face into her batting helmet, thus spending the good part of that weekend summer day in the dentist’s office getting a root canal.

No teeth were lost in this latest incident, but I was lost in a bit of imagining on Sunday when I tripped and fell on Packard while running. I look like I’ve been in a bar fight and my shoulder looks similar to how Wesley’s looked after being attacked by an ROUS. 

But I’m going into work today, and when I told my boss I’m nervous about how I look she said, “It’s OK because you have a story,” and if that isn’t the best thing you could ever say to me, I’m not sure what is. 

So, here I am with a story. Thanks to all my friends and family who’ve been so kind and keeping me laughing.
