2019 Goals Check-In
Hey y’all, happy June! I’m really at a loss for words that we’re halfway through the year already—but then again, it seems like New Year’s Day was approximately 600 years ago. So. That’s where I’m at with 2019. But I set some excited goals for this year and I thought it was about time I checked… Continue reading

To My Fellow Tough Eggs
Often when I meet someone new, or when I see someone for the first time in a long time, or sometimes for no reason at all, I feel very shy and quiet and unable to start, continue, or enjoy a conversation. I put a lot of pressure on myself, demanding, THIS IS ON YOU, and… Continue reading

I Ran A Damn Marathon
Two years ago, just after my 27th birthday, I made this list to give myself 30 things to strive for before I turned 30. The very last item on that list, was an ellipses-ed, maybe, kinda, but I don’t know item: Run a Marathon. I didn’t want to commit to the task, but I also… Continue reading

Look Up and Look Around
I am currently training for the LA marathon. This means that three times a week I’m outside running, telling my body that all the pain and exhaustion will be worth it when we get that medal at the finish line—and the free banana shortly afterward. This past Saturday I ran 17.5 miles, the second longest… Continue reading
