  “Oh, if you keep reaching out Then I’ll keep coming back And if you’re gone for good Then I’m okay with that…” -Light On by Maggie Rogers   If you are brand new here, hi, I like music. If you aren’t, then you know. I love music actually. As my days are literally filled… Continue reading Day 35.

I was searching for a quote tonight. I was aimlessly seeking some profound words of wisdom that would capture how I am feeling. I couldn’t find it. I couldn’t find them. I can only look inside my heart and read the words imprinted there and share them with you. My friend Jamie, a nurse, posted… Continue reading Day 34.

I don’t know if you fall into the same camp as me, but lately little tasks turn into slightly bigger projects. Not purposefully per se, but more so because I am more conscious than ever of my living space. In the spirit of full disclosure, I live in a studio apartment. Well, I suppose that… Continue reading Day 33.

Note: I was a little flustered during this recording because I feel SO strongly about this topic. Perfection is not a need nor a goal here. So... ❤ Well now. We have officially breached the 30-day mark. I know some of you are far further into this, but given my geographical and work situations, I… Continue reading Days 30-32.

However, I then followed up my statement with a description of my shelter-in-place exercise routine and a quick download of my… Continue reading Day 27.

It was raining during my run yesterday morning. I had this silly thought whereas I wished the rain would somehow wash all of this insanity away. A massive cleanse. Ideally, in this fantasy, we would be pummeled by torrential downpours and then it would suddenly clear, taking this heartbreaking and terrifying madness with it. I… Continue reading Day 26.

Years ago, and I mean years (think like 14 ish), I would patronize a local Yogurt & Such around the corner from my office. The woman who ran it was from Pakistan and when I was ordering my boring vanilla frozen yogurt with granola and fruit one day, she offered to throw in her special… Continue reading Day 25.

Validation. Just the word gives me the creeps. And yet….our societal foundation is squarely propped directly on top of that word. Its meaning, its implications, its impact. We thrive and shrink in the face of validation. I was chatting earlier today with a lovely friend of mine and telling her a work story. She wrote… Continue reading Day 24.
