I’m 34!
Last year I wrote this post about my birthday and I thought I would pop in today with a similar sentiment. A book I read recently described birthdays as “not a day to celebrate progress…[but] a day to celebrate existence.” And I thought, yes! That is exactly how I feel.

The Colorful Explosion of Is
Once or twice a month I feel specifically like this. Like the world truly is big and vast and full of possibility. Like everything I could ever do and learn and see and experience is right here at my fingertips. Like there is simply too much for me to find, but rather than being discouraged… Continue reading

Root to Rise (Another Lesson I Learned in Yoga)
I have written about yoga multiple times on my blog (here and here), especially Yoga with Adriene, who I found during the pandemic and has been a cozy internet friend ever since. As I continue to practice, I continue to find new lessons in it. The other day, I was doing a flow practice that… Continue reading
