Hi, I’m Carie. I write for myself, and others, about navigating these times.

There, in the middle of an end cap display of room temperature prebiotic sodas was a single can of beer:

The moral of the story? What you seek you shall find. But you might find it where you least expect it.

One afternoon, I walked out of a trampoline park with a friend.

We both walked out and exclaimed some variation on the themes of Oh My Gawd.

I was surprised to learn that she’d exclaimed due to a pile of trash in the middle of the parking lot. My eyes were distracted by a beautiful sunset.

Without her, I’d have for sure stepped in someone’s leftover McDonald’s.

Without me, she’d have missed a glorious Colorado sunset.

We need each other. Don’t forget that.
