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

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

My Current Weekly Workout Routine
Piggy backing off of last week’s post about exercise (and doing it even if you’re not wearing a fitness tracker) I thought I’d revisit/update this blog from last April about my weekly workout routine. I was happy to reread it and find I’m still feeling the same way about exercise—that it should be fun and… Continue reading

It Still Counts if You Don’t Post It
Shortly after I got my first Fit Bit, my perspective on exercise changed. Suddenly I didn’t just want to go for a walk, I wanted to know how far I went and how many steps I got. I wanted praise for moving, proof and positive reinforcement. I still get excited about the little badges they… Continue reading

My Best Day in May
There is always something special about a three-day weekend. Though few and far between on a typical work schedule, they bring two special weeks in a row: a three-day weekend followed by a four-day work week. Needless to say, Memorial Day was already shiny before it started. I woke up that Monday lazy, without hurry,… Continue reading
