I knew I wanted to write today but was coming up short on ideas. I googled some journaling prompts and came across this one: “What three ordinary things bring you the most joy?” It immediately reminded me of a quote in a poetry book I started reading last night! And so, I decided I will Continue reading

Happy Friday! I hope you had a good week. This feels like the perfect weekend to do a Halloween craft or bake a fall-themed snack or dessert. I don’t think I’ve shared this here, but I hired a coach to get me through the Richmond Marathon and then to train me for MMT again next 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

What A Year

Hi! It’s been so long. 2023 has been quite the year. The hardest year of my life, I think. To say this year has had its ups and downs would be an understatement. I think I have experienced nearly every emotion a human can over the last 11 months and while it has been a Continue reading
