  • A Few Words

    Y’all. In the recent months I’ve noticed that my vocabulary has improved. I credit it to reading, listening to more podcasts, and generally paying more attention to the words I hear throughout daily life. Sometimes I’ll be speaking and will stun myself with a word choice! I had no clue I could even use that… Continue reading

    This Week: Slow Summer Vibes

    Hi! I cannot believe it’s almost August. This summer has been so sweet. As a matter of fact, I have some oat crumble strawberry bars in the oven right now and I might make some banana muffins too. I’ll let you know how they taste! While July is nearly over, time hasn’t felt rushed and… Continue reading

  • Self Check Ins

    Self Check Ins

    Hi! I’m not sure what’s got me feeling so inspired to write this week but I’m enjoying it. I’ve been reading some older blogs and I guess it just reminded me of how fun it is to read someone else’s thoughts and glimpse into their lives without Instagram.  Today’s stream of consciousness is somewhat of… Continue reading

  • More to Life

    2024 has been a year of fun and reflection. After the hellscape that was 2023 for me, I’ve been actively seeking our joy and fulfillment and meaning to my life outside of work. And in this process I can’t help but be struck by how simple that ought to be, but challenging nonetheless. I think… Continue reading

  • This Week: Hope!

    This Week: Hope!

    Happy Monday! I am feeling pretty good today. I had a fun weekend, got plenty of sleep, and am feeling hopeful about the state of the world for the first time in a while. Last week was very busy with work so I was pleased to realize I didn’t have too much going on this… Continue reading

  • This Week: Not Enough Sleep

    Y’all I am sleepy. After a lot of fun and travel over the last few weeks, I want to stay in bed for 12 hours straight. I keep telling myself I am going to get up early and go to the gym before work, but that has simply not been the case. Nonetheless, life is… Continue reading

  • Summer, So Far

    Summer, So Far

    I’ve gotta tell you: I am having a fantastic time. This summer has been an absolute blast. As an adult, time always seems to be going faster and faster and the seasons feel harder to appreciate. Throw in other responsibilities and life expectations and it is really easy to lose your grip on all the… Continue reading

  • This Week: It’s Hot Out

    This Week: It’s Hot Out

    I am back again with another newsletter-style blog post! I’ll be honest: these are pretty easy to write and force me to reflect on what I’ve been up to and thinking about. I joke that my short term memory is trash so I like forcing myself to think about the past week or so. I’ve… Continue reading

  • This Week: As a Newsletter

    This Week: As a Newsletter

    I’ve been reading a lot of newsletters lately. It’s sort of comical to me how casual newsletters and Substack are basically just… blogs. Don’t get me wrong – I love it! I am a big fan of reading relatively short-form blog-style posts. Somehow it is more interesting (and often inspirational) to me than watching a… Continue reading

  • Values-Based (Time) Spending

    The other morning Patrick and I went to the climbing gym before work. I actually woke up just before my 5:30 am alarm and was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t immediately fall back asleep. I can’t tell you how many times Patrick and I have discussed going to the climbing gym in the AM, only… Continue reading
