FEBRUARY & MARCH: Snuck in one last ski on a gorgeous Mazama day before the rest of the month was swallowed up with ranch work, wrestling tournaments and writing (more about this new job over ).

In March, I was awarded a writing residency at the Ucross Foundation in NE Wyoming. I lived and worked with spectacular artists from a wide range of artistic disciplines. And also, I had the honor of running a workshop for the students at the Wyoming Girls School and speaking at Sheridan College. Much more to say about this experience!

Thanks to Daren, Mae and Alondra for taking over my ranch obligations while I was out of the valley!

JANUARY 2026! Honestly, I miss posting photos from the ranch because I love sharing images of the beauty I find during my day-to-day work. But sometimes an image of a beautiful river on a day when innocent people were detained or killed just feels…hollow. Or out of touch? I dunno. Somedays, seeing a nice photo of a lovely place can also feel like a beacon of light––ya’ know? I love the idea of doing a monthly recap. But can I be consistent??

I got to spend most of my free time this month inside stuffy high school gyms all over the state of Washington watching my youngest daughter, Maeve, wrestle for our local high school. And I loved it.

Otherwise January was full of happy guests, cleaning the ranch, restocking the sauna, taking care of business, creating a new business model, loads of writing and hair pulling bc of the writing, and always, runs with Ranch Dog, Dax. Because we choose to keep moving––ONWARD!

Many of you first met our daughters when they were little girls running barefoot through the hay fields. A few weeks ago our oldest daughter, Ayla, graduated from high school. We welcomed several hundred community members, friends, and family to Spring Creek Ranch to celebrate the class of 2024.

This phase of parenting is like entering warp speed on a Star Trek episode––bodies and days and errands and meals and school swirl by in a blurry tangle of light, love and chaos.

I look forward to sharing more with all of you following along here to remember your time at Spring Creek Ranch and for those who dream of visiting.
