on being informed and being sane
I’ve been thinking a lot about the challenge of being an informed citizen and protecting my mental health. Not too long ago I began reading an article about how being constantly exposed to coverage of a traumatic event via social media may actually cause more trauma to the viewer than to someone who actually witnessed… Continue reading

Happy Fall!
This may be the first time in years that I successfully resisted the urge to pretend it was fall before the autumnal equinox. This was not entirely intentional (see: previous posts about starting a new job and being quite distracted), but I am pretty pleased that I can finally lean allllll the way into this… Continue reading

Life continues to be busy and I am trying to use any extra time I can to get my life together so that I can sleep as much as possible each night! I do not want to fall off of writing here while I’m managing my time and energy, so I am going to stick… Continue reading

It feels like fall weather here! I just had to get that out right away. Again, I am in no way rushing summer’s end, but how can you not revel in this glorious weather?! The last two mornings I’ve enjoyed my coffee outside and our windows are open. The only hitch in my giddy up… Continue reading

Patrick and I were walking this morning and discussing how rough of a month July was. We’re trying… Continue reading

Happy Tuesday! My goal this week is to tune into summer, enjoy each day, and to fully appreciate each moment of my life. I’ve complained ad nauseum about how this summer has been kicking my ass emotionally, mentally, and physically, and now I am ready to turn things around! We’re going to see the new… Continue reading

It’s early on a Monday morning as I sit on my couch to write this. I just wrapped up a fun, very outdoorsy weekend, and now I’ve got a busy week of work coming up! I’m going to go to the gym today, but otherwise I am hoping to pick up the house a bit… Continue reading

Well, life continues on, doesn’t it? It’s a weird thing to have felt such loss last week and then you just… continue. I miss Bear and always will, and I don’t think I am done crying yet, but for now I am so grateful he’s at peace and that we still have Alaska to love… Continue reading

For Bear
We lost our sweet dog Bear this week unexpectedly, and I’ve never felt grief like this. He was 13.5 years old, and we got to spend the most amazing 8 years with him. His sister Alaska is still with us, and we’re loving on her harder than ever. I want to wax poetic about Bear.… Continue reading
