Stray Fortunes

in Uncategorized on 11/02/14

I was reading a post on the A Beautiful Mess blog and the writer wrote about stray fortunes. I like that pairing and thought of  it recently as I cleaned our house, especially as I went through the girls’ room. Here’s a little box for teeth that have been lost. Hadley lost another tooth, and much to her delight she… View Post

Right Now

{Changed} the positioning of the stuff on my desk. That’s what you do when you don’t know what to write. You decide that everything you own is in the wrong place or worse, that everything you own is not the thing you are supposed to own. Last week I threw out seven pairs of shoes, some jeans, and a few… View Post

Meeting

in Uncategorized on 04/02/14

Last week I went to Harper’s preschool conference. Not a huge deal in and of itself, but I realized that this would be the last conference in the school she is currently going to.  Next year is Kindergarten.  I’m particularly sensitive to this because it’s the end of an era for me, too.  I don’t know what I’ll do next… View Post

Okay Fine, Annie Dillard

“Today is one of those excellent January partly cloudies in which light chooses an unexpected part of the landscape to trick out in gilt, and then shadow sweeps it away.

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.
