A place for honesty and growth.

This heart of mine is a disorganized place.  Like an old chest of drawers, it's got a lot going on inside.

This blog is an attempt to tell the stories that are found in the the grit of daily living.  I want small, embarrassing realities to find shelter and safety here.  I am an American girl (woman?), navigating a one and one half year old marriage in a foreign place - we live in Paris! - within a cramped apartment (10 x 10 foot, total).  Student loans are accumulating and our student stipends are not sufficient.  Fertility medications enhance my moodiness and my cross-cultural marriage with my Mexican is a beautiful gift, but a work in progress.

But this is us!  Our real life!

I hope that in honesty, there is be healing.  I hope that within a tangle of emotions, I can recognize my own truth.  I hope that after sorting through the clutter, there is clarity.
Us.  In real life.
