How Jazzercise Unexpectedly Changed My Life (And the Way I Exercise)
“Do you want to try Jazzercise with me tonight?” After hearing this question from my mom on a weekday afternoon, my immediate reaction was to laugh. Not callously, but curiously.

Hulk Pasta
With a metal spoon, I scoop the cooked broccoli into the blender, followed by the butter, garlic, lemon juice and pasta water. “It might be loud,” I say, genuinely not knowing how loud it will be, as this is not my blender, or my kitchen. Sitting behind me is my best friend Nicole, her newborn… Continue reading

Be a Thermometer
A few weeks ago, I was at church and our pastor said something that really stuck out to me. He said, “Be a thermometer, not a thermostat.” If you Google the phrase, you’ll find that it has been taught before, in reverse, and often in regards to relationships with other people.

We Wrote A Book!
In the fall of 2020, I was approached by a member of my church to write a book. At the time, I was sorting through donated food, knee deep—like everyone else—in absolute uncertainty, as the chaos of COVID-19 continued to ravage the world. We were both wearing masks and gloves, standing the recommended six feet… Continue reading

Five Things I Do When I’m Home Alone
I have been living alone for about six months now. And while it took some adjusting, I have definitely found the comfort and freedom in it. Sometimes I look around in awe thinking, this is my little place, isn’t it? My corner of the world that I created all by myself. And that’s kind of… Continue reading

My Ideal Food Court
I was recently listening to the Bad on Paper podcast and they raised the following question: What restaurants would make up your ideal food court? It’s a great conversation starter, and I’ve found it can draw out some pretty heated opinions. It’s also tough question, but I decided to add even more of a challenge… Continue reading
