Flawfully Yours
I’ve always written to make sense of things—the beautiful parts, the ridiculous parts, the parts that feel impossible at 2 a.m. when the house is too quiet and my thoughts won’t let me sleep. If I don’t write things down, they just rattle around in my head and make me scattered.
So Evergreen & Grey is the place where I put it all: the caregiving years with my parents, raising three kids who constantly madden and surprise me, the long slow untangling of old family patterns, the bright spots that appear out of nowhere, the moments that knock the wind out of me, and the laughter and joy that save the day.
Some days life feels deep-green and alive.
Some days it’s washed-out and heavy.
Most days it’s a mix of both so that’s what I write about
I try to tell the truth, even when it’s awkward or not particularly flattering. I lean on humor because it’s the one tool that hasn’t failed me yet. And underneath everything, there’s a stubborn kind of hope — the kind you have to keep choosing, even when it doesn’t come naturally.
If you read here, you can expect:
- stories from real family life (the tender parts and the messy ones)
- caregiving and grief, written honestly
- moments of joy that appear in the middle of chaos
- essays about womanhood, middle age, and the weirdness of being a person
- some swearing, some laughing, and the occasional emotional sucker punch
- community — actual community — not just comments under a post
- offerings for people who want to gather, share stories, and feel less alone
I don’t pretend to have answers. I just write my way toward a little more light, and if that helps someone else do the same, then it’s worth it.
If you’ve found your way here, I’m glad you did.
Flawfully yours,
Evergreen & Grey (E&G)
