this week #63

Happy May! It’s the best month of the year for multiple reasons. The weather is almost always great, this was when we used to get out of school, and… it’s my birthday month! Very important month, in my opinion. Since Falling Water, I have been enjoying some recovery time. I knew I wouldn’t have evenings… Continue reading

My Energy Audit

On a run last week, I listened to a podcast where the host was walking listeners through doing an energy audit. The episode came out at the beginning of the year (classic timing) and was a tiny bit corny, but I was surprised to find I enjoyed the mental exercise! After leaving a toxic job… Continue reading

You guys, what in the world, I am feeling sick! Again! I spent the first 30 years of my life proudly never getting sick and now I get sick every other month. Is this what getting older is like? Not a fan. It might be allergies but I definitely have a minor cough and felt… Continue reading

this week #59

Hi from my bed! I’ve been trying to spend more time sitting still and chilling out this week. So far, so good. I keep myself entertained with reading and YouTube, but today I figured I’d pop in for a life update! It’s been a minute since I’ve written one of these anyway. Here’s what I’ve… Continue reading

A Photo Essay from a Whirlwind Week

Howdy! Last week I spent almost the entire week in Orlando, FL. I flew in on a Saturday for a Sunday-Tuesday work meeting and then Patrick joined me Tuesday night for shenanigans and fun before we flew home early Friday morning. I took a work call Friday afternoon and I felt so unglued from time.… Continue reading

Wonder Weeks

As you may know, throughout December Patrick and I completed our own Christmas advent calendar full of coffee-themed activities to do both at home and out in the world. I drafted the ideas for activities throughout the fall and then put it on a cute Canva calendar template. I wrote about it a few times,… Continue reading
