I Love Me (Part 3)
A few years ago, I was inspired by a fellow blogger to start a series that encourages friends and family to write down things they love about themselves. We often find it too easy to criticize or put ourselves down, whether it be in an attempt to be funny or relatable, or as a side Continue reading

A Celebration and a Camel
At the beginning of September, a woman named Norma, who went to my church, passed away suddenly. She was the mother of some of my mom’s closest church friends, whom we’d all grown to know over the years, and who, for a long time, was part of our row. Most Sundays, when we were all Continue reading

The Pants Can’t Do Everything
Confession: I like online shopping. The ease. The convenience. The ability to make fun mail arrive on my doorstep. It is wonderful. But sometimes I use shopping—or perhaps, the items I shop for—in a way that I shouldn’t. I pretend that shopping will solve my problems or make me feel better when it won’t. I Continue reading

Trust that the Ground is There
There have been a couple blog posts in the past where I mentioned not only my love for yoga, but especially Yoga with Adriene hosted by Adriene Mishler on both YouTube and her website Find What Feels Good—both of which I would recommend. In taking her classes for the last year and a half or Continue reading

July & August Favorites
Hello and welcome to September! Can I just say that I am done with the summer heat. Every day, I look at my sweatshirts longingly, desperate to be reunited. And although I live in Southern California and I’m well aware that “fall” weather won’t arrive until, like, Thanksgiving, I’m pretending like it’s only a few Continue reading

I Hope 30 Loves You as Much as I Do
In the fall of my sophomore year of high school, I showed up to the annual softball tryouts as a “returner.” Having made the team as a freshman, my spot was already reserved, so I was just there to volunteer my time, meet prospective players, and, along with my teammates, be the butt of the Continue reading

The One Question I Keep Asking Myself
When I was little, I was often asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. When I was in high school, I was often asked what I was going to study in college. When I was in college, I was often asked what my plans were after graduation. When I reached my mid-twenties, Continue reading

Our Olympic Moment
Yesterday marked the end of the 2020/2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. While I am sad to see them go, I’m sure my sleep schedule is very grateful. There were a lot of nights spent staying up late on the couch, watching hours and hours of recorded events, cheering—sometimes screaming—on not only Team USA, but all Continue reading

A Name for Smoggy Days
Yesterday was a smoggy day. Sure, in Los Angeles, it’s smoggy most days. But that’s not the smog I’m talking about. Some days I wake up feeling low. Sad. Or what I like to describe as “heavy.” It’s when every worry, insecurity, and regret seem to be sitting on top of me, making it hard Continue reading

Bob & The Battle for the Keys
It was just your average Friday. My alarm had gone off and I had snoozed it (twice) before getting up; the air conditioning had kicked on because it was already 85 degrees outside; my lunch box was packed, my hair was up, and I had a light jacket tucked in my purse because the office Continue reading
