Responding

taylorvanderwell December 1, 2015

The amount of bad news is overwhelming. Is it okay to admit sometimes I’m a little disturbed that it is possible access the terrible, no good, very bad things happening in every country as they are happening? It’s too much. If you’re a doer …

7 Things Sunday

taylorvanderwell November 8, 2015

One. Halloween happened. I went to a party in a big, beautiful old house. Pumpkin carving, Harry Potter themed cocktails, a portrait drawing studio, dance floor, and lots of good food shared by friends in killer costumes. The entire cast of …

7 Things Sunday

taylorvanderwell September 7, 2015

I’ve been home for a little over a month now. I don’t really know how to describe what the transition back feels like. It’s not bad. In fact, it feels really normal and fine in a lot of ways. I …

Flames

taylorvanderwell August 27, 2015

I’ve been going through 40 days of contemplative prayer. If you have no idea what I just said…basically it involves reading a passage and waiting for a word or phrase to stick out to you and then meditating on that. …

Good Grief

taylorvanderwell August 4, 2015

People aren’t very good with grief. Grief comes in shapes and sizes. It comes whenever life changes, whether they’re tiny or huge changes. Change is often a form of loss, and loss needs to be grieved to some extent. For example, moving …
