12dp3dt: Beta Day

Oct. 11, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

B is for Beta

It's beta day. I left the house at 6am, the night receding, the crescent moon like a sleepy eye waking from a dream. All summer, I'd been searching the night skies for Orion, not realizing he's an autumnal constellation. As I walked to my car, I looked up and there he was: … Read More »

11dp3dt: Pulling in the Oars

Oct. 10, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

pull in your oars. trust the river. it will be okay.

A Wise Woman once told me: sometimes, you have to pull in your oars and let the river take you where it wants to go. You have to let go of that control and instead be carried by - and ultimately, trust - the Universe. There is no amount of wishing, praying, begging or … Read More »

Baby Got Back

I've been talking about my butt a lot here the past few days, more than I think I ever would on this blog. In case you missed my PIO shot video, I have, according to Sir Mix-A-Lot (pictured, above and right) what he calls a "healthy butt." In fact, I believe Mr. … Read More »

Trashy YA Novels Make Two-Week Waits AWESOME

Oct. 4, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Matched by Ally Condie

When I saw the book trailer for Matched, Ally Condie's young adult novel where an imperfect love fights against all odds in a totalitarian dystopia, I was intrigued: The first in a trilogy of titles, sadly, Matched will forever live in the shadow of Suzanne Collins' wildly … Read More »

6dp3dt: Dubious Hope/Hopeful Doubt

Oct. 3, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

Human Fertilization

A meditation, a mantra and a prayer.

Sep. 28, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

May My Womb be a Temple for Your Blessing; be a Chalice for the Moon; be a Vessel for Creation; be a Conduit of Life. Pulling the oars in. Letting the river carry this boat where it wants. Feeling peace in the abandon, hope in the stillness. Transfer in … Read More »
