Skip to primary navigation. Skip to primary sidebar. Change the world, one word at a time. Boots and Bodily Wisdom. December 6, 2016. I’ve lived in the Twin Cities for almost 10 years (this time around) and this is the first year that I am the proud owner of a pair of decent, waterproof winter boots.

Compelled to reevaluate my entire life and overhaul my entire personality. I awaken to a racing mind, a tense body, vivid images and long lists of all the things I wish were different in my life.
