Three Ordinary Things
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

this week #26
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

this week #14
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

I’ll let you know how they taste! While July is nearly over, time hasn’t felt rushed and… 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

January, so far
We are already halfway through January! I am genuinely shocked. I know I am not alone when I say that January normally feels at least 70 days long. Nonetheless, this month has felt pretty good… so far. I absolutely feel like I am going to jinx myself, but oh well. Work has been busy, I’ve… Continue reading

let’s rejoice, shall we?
You don’t need me to tell you these are strange times we are living in. I find that I fluctuate greatly day to day, even hour to hour, how I feel. Sometimes I feel okay, settled in, and able to do the things I need and want to do. Other times I feel antsy or… Continue reading

2014: To be fearless.
2014 is almost over. It’s unbelievable. It feels like just yesterday I was planning out my 2014 New Year’s Resolutions… So silly! See last year I had one resolution. To be fearless. My goal was to do one thing every single day that was out of my comfort zone. To do one thing that scared me.… Continue reading
