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

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

I know I’ve complained a lot about the weather this summer – and I do feel Continue reading

Things I’ve Been Meaning to Do

Some are silly or just for fun and others are actually important and possibly even time sensitive! It’s not that I’ve been intentionally procrastinating, but I keep telling Continue reading

Summer Bucket List – 2025 Edition
I’ve written many bucket/general aspiration/goal lists on this blog over the years. [Running bucket list, Spring 2025, Fall 2024, Summer 2024, 2023 Aspirations, 2022 Aspirations – to name a few!] I absolutely love writing them and reflecting on what is exciting or inspiring to me… even if I rarely end up actually marking things off Continue reading

food and running, what’s new?!
I haven’t taken the time to sit down to write in a bit, but I did capture a few random photos from various happenings over the last week! We got back from Grand Cayman late on Monday, so I had a short week at work but it still felt oddly long. Last night I was Continue reading
