It is a beautiful week here in Virginia! The sun is shining, the temps are just right, and everything’s so green. I love it. Is there anything better than opening up the blinds to a gloriously bright day in the morning?! I think not. It’s been a very fun week and this weekend should be Continue reading

ALLERGIES. That is my word of the week! The pollen count has been slowly growing, and this week it is really real. I thought I had escaped the worst of it, but now I have stuffy ears and a sore throat and generally feel tired in my face – you know what I mean?! Aside Continue reading

Stop Telling Me to Buy Things!
I love reading blogs. I’m a fan of newsletters, YouTube videos, websites – generally consuming content thoughtfully made about people’s lives or thoughts! It’s interesting to me to read about other people’s perspectives on the world or experiences. I enjoy this when it’s a deep reflection or simply an update about someone’s week! I started Continue reading

All around fantastic. After a busy week last week, followed by a weekend full of running and sleeping, it Continue reading

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

Hi, I am ready for spring. Life has been so busy lately. I really feel like I am burning the candle at both ends right now. I feel good about all I am doing and I am actually having a ton of fun… But I am also tired and would love a massage and a Continue reading

Half Formed Thoughts

I’ve had a topic that I’ve wanted to write about all week. It’s been a half formed idea that’s been floating around in my brain since last weekend but, every time I sit down to write, my brain fizzles out and can’t muster up quite enough power to make it happen. Maybe because this week 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
