For Anyone Else Who is Opening and Closing and Scrolling and Sighing
I wrote this a little while back, but it has been resonating with me lately so I wanted to share. It’s 7:00 p.m. I’m alone, my roommates aren’t home from work yet, and I’m lying on my bed with a towel in my hair. I unlock my phone and I open Instagram. I scroll… Continue reading

Two Things Yoga Has Taught Me This Year
A couple months ago I mentioned that I’d gotten into a yoga series called Home on the YouTube channel Yoga with Adrienne. Since then I’ve made it into a habit to do yoga almost every day and it has done wonders for me. As of right now, with some restrictions still in place, I am… Continue reading

Why Finding Your Own Voice Can Help Everyone
Not too long ago, I did a thorough cleaning of my house in which I gave away things I didn’t use, threw away things that were broken, and, more than anything, found things I forgot I had. One such thing was a book called “Music Listography,” which I’m pretty sure I impulse bought from Target,… Continue reading

A Little Miyagi Reminder
To continue off of Monday’s post a little… My mom recently sent me a video of my brother from a few years back when he was speaking at our church. I wrote about it shortly after it happened in this post, but it struck a chord with me as I watched it again and thought… Continue reading

My Quest to Find a Morning Routine (Part 2)
Just about two months ago I posted a blog explaining my want/need for a better morning routine, namely on weekdays. I have long been a chronic snooze pusher, and am often completing my morning responsibilities at somewhat of a jogging pace, and so I thought it was about time to do something about it. To… Continue reading

Looking at the world as a whole, it would seem there are thousands of reasons not only to grieve, but to set… Continue reading

10 Things I Love About Baseball
We are about two weeks into Spring Training, and about two weeks away from the start of the regular season, which has my baseball loving heart soaring.

My Quest to Find a Morning Routine (Part 1)
I am not a morning person. Well, I shouldn’t say that. I am not a weekday morning person. I am a weekend morning person—but that’s only because I often get to wake up without an alarm and do anything I want with my day. Those weekdays though. They are brutal. Even when I put in… Continue reading

29 Good Things that Happened in February
Hello and welcome back to another edition of All the Good Things, a monthly series where I highlight all the good things (get it?) that happen in each 30-day (or so) span. I hope it can be a reminder that amongst all the well known bad, there is a lot of undercover good happening in our world. Let’s dive… Continue reading

I Can’t Believe You Kept This
I have a scrapbook in my room filled with paper souvenirs that I’ve collected both from vacations, events, and the average, seemingly ordinary days. I have wristbands from concerts and boarding passes from flights. I have a sticker from the first time I gave blood and a parking ticket from the City of Vancouver. I… Continue reading
