snaps from life
I opened the curtains before I sat down to have lunch on Friday. It was a beautiful and sunny day, I had made a delicious lunch, and I was looking forward to enjoying a break from work. I ended up snapping a photo of my lunch because the light was just right and it was… 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

Hi from my bed! I’ve been trying to spend more time sitting still and chilling out this week. So far, so good.

I took a work call Friday afternoon and I felt so unglued from time.… Continue reading

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

Good morning, and happy Sunday! I’m writing to you from the couch. After I finished my run last night, I noticed my throat felt a little sore, but I chalked it up to running in the cold. I tossed and turned all night and woke up feeling extremely blah. My throat was still sore, and… Continue reading
