Time is Flying in Weird Ways
Everywhere you turn you can hear someone commenting on the passage of time—either how quick or how slow. The beginning of the year, for me, always moves the slowest. I constantly find myself asking, “is it STILL January?!” Because I’m so anxious to get on with it, to dive headfirst into the newness and see Continue reading

I Took a Ceramics Class
One of my goals this year was to take a ceramics class. I took ceramics as an elective in high school, and to fulfill a 3D art requirement in college, and enjoyed both, so I’ve often thought about finding a way to get back into it. And since goal setting is the easiest way to Continue reading

We’re Making a Movie!
Two years ago, I booked a flight to Nashville to join a writing team. 99 other people, from 38 states and six countries, did the same thing. We were all answering the call to an Instagram ad, a proposal to do something no one had ever done before, the chance to be a part of Continue reading

July & August Favorites
I say this every time but…I found some really good stuff lately!! Let’s get right into it. Books Talking at Night by Claire Daverley is a love story, but not an easy one. It’s hard to describe without giving away major plot points, but if you’re in a melancholy mood, this is a great pick. Continue reading

Welcome to the Table, Willie
Two weeks before you were born, we celebrated your uncle’s birthday. We sat at our favorite hibachi restaurant, passing plates of sushi back and forth, and clapping as our chef caught an egg in his hat and constructed an onion volcano.

Sights & Sounds at the Farmer’s Market
About once a month I volunteer with Food Forward at a local farmer’s market, collecting food from vendors that they otherwise would’ve had to throw away, and donating it to food relief organizations. It’s a light, breezy way to spend an afternoon—with the occasional burst of cardio and strength training as you transport heavy boxes Continue reading

The Tiny Grenade
First, a tiny reminder. At the beginning of every year, I find a word. It’s a theme of sorts. Something to pray on and learn from throughout the year. And come December, I reflect on all that it gave me. This year, the word is: wonder. . Now, a tiny time travel. Back in 2016, Continue reading

May & June Favorites
Nothing quite captures the mood of the newly arrived summer heat than the text I got from my sister the other day politely asking me to “prepare a funeral for the death of my sanity.” The triple digits really hit hard. So I hope you’re reading this somewhere with air conditioning and an ice cold Continue reading

My Best Day in June
I fell into a routine of doing these every other month, but then, some months just have a day you want to write about. Days you want to squeeze like a wet towel so you can wring out all the tiny details and get them down on paper so you can remember them for much Continue reading

A Prayer for Bad Drivers
I just kicked off a new series on my Thursday Faith newsletter called “The Summer of Prayer”, and in honor of that, I thought I’d post a prayer here too. Perhaps a prayer we can all relate to. A prayer we unknowingly pray every single day. Whether you have a long commute to work, are Continue reading
