A Pretty Long List, When You Think About It
I sat down to write a blog post about thankfulness. About noticing. I wanted to go through all of the tiny things in my day and in my body. The parts of my life I might not pay attention to or notice, especially when a different problem is on my mind, but when I focus Continue reading

My Spring Bucket List
Right, so, it has been spring for almost a month now, but here I am with a Spring Bucket List. Also, it’s Tuesday and I usually post on Monday. But oh well. I just like this list and wanted to share, because somehow spring feels extra springy this year and I just got some tulips Continue reading

My Best Day in January
One of my goals for this year is to do monthly reflections, and while I have a series of questions that I can go through, another thing I thought of was to write about my “best day” of the month. Some months are full of good days, some months are full of bad ones. Some Continue reading

200 Day Time Capsule Blog #12
Well, well, well, if it hasn’t been another 200 days. Or, techinically, 400 days if you read #11.5, which confessed that I forgot to send myself a letter last time. My bad!

Cut, Drive, Be a Beginner
