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

this week #62
Happy Monday! Spirits are high, the sun is shining today, and I’m coming off a really fun and beautiful weekend. As I type this, the redbud tree outside our house is blooming with such gorgeously pink flowers, there is a near cloudless sky, and I am going to go on an easy little run later… Continue reading

Heads up: this is going to be a stream of consciousness, but I need to work something out. Over the last few months, I have felt pulled in a million different directions by a million different things and people. Most of these people/commitments/events/things are good (very good!) but have added stress into my life in… Continue reading

I’ve used app limits with varying levels of success. I’ve even considered buying a Brick or an Opal subscription to cut off my Instagram… Continue reading

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

this week #35
Happy Friday! What a weird week. It was a good week all around, and it felt very long, but I also felt like I didn’t have much free time in my days. Especially shocking considering I only ran twice this week! Yesterday felt so much like a Friday that I think that confused me further… Continue reading

80%, baby
There are a lot of articles out there on how to make habits. Like, a lot. There’s scientific research on habit formation, there’s expansion on habits versus routines, there’s step by step guides on making micro-changes in your life, and so on and so forth. It all seems pretty interesting and useful and slightly intense.… Continue reading

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
