Guest Post by Jason Ulsrud: Hold On, How I’m Surviving
I discovered Jason and his blog, literally, about a week ago via a comment he left over at my good buddy Steven’s site (at Human Explosion).
He had me at, “Hello.”
Well, he has my readership, anyway.
I find him to be vibrant, engaging, and genuine. I immediately felt connected to his spirit, which is [...]
Front Porch: Cardboard Sleds, Machu Picchu, and Sami May
I host a weekend series here at Jane Be Nimble called Front Porch with a focus on people’s stories, spanning comedy to tragedy, to steep us in the human experience. Many of life’s best stories are told on front porches, in break rooms, and in back yards; that’s what Front Porch is all about.

Happy Mid-Week, All!
Today, I want to turn the camera lens away from yours truly and feature a short story that I received in the body of an email recently, describing the author’s unpleasant surprise. I promised I’d keep her name anonymous, but here’s my thing: I think this is funny! This chicka cracks me [...]
My Friend is Expecting
My friend is having a baby; her baby is due in twelve days.
Let me back up, I should explain that I do not have children of my own, birthed by me. There are lots of reasons why I do not, and, again, I’ll save that for a future post. However, I do have three beautiful [...]
