Writing can be solitary work. This summer, I joined the @CommunityofWriters in Olympic Valley—sharing mornings of workshop, afternoons of learning and evenings of food, fun and mountain views. Exhilarating, exhausting, unforgettable. ⛰️🌲✍️ luciablackwell.com/2025/09/14/w...

Always proud to work at @seattletimes.com ❤️🧡💛💚💙

Oh what a perfect Friday afternoon to edge from May into June. Still some planting to do but my reading spot is shaping up nicely. Where are you reading this weekend? #urbangarden #readingspot

Mother’s Day can be complicated for adopted people. We all do the best we can. #adoptee #mothersday #loveandloss luciablackwell.com/2025/05/11/a...

This is what being adopted feels like to me. A fault line. I live in the fault. In fault.
One life I live.
One life I imagine.
Both pulling at the same center.

Digging into tonight’s emotional support key lime pie. Saving the bag of chocolate for later. (Likely sooner than later, tbh)

Sharing a #caturday pic of my daughter’s Jake, as a virtual sage smudge for the past week. Or month.

When life slows to a crawl - literally - the swirl of connections around us comes into focus. I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m happy about my broken fibula but I’m doing my best to accept the lessons it offers. Curious about what you see when you slow down!
