I Took a Ceramics Class
One of my goals this year was to take a ceramics class. I took ceramics as an elective in high school, and to fulfill a 3D art requirement in college, and enjoyed both, so I’ve often thought about finding a way to get back into it. And since goal setting is the easiest way to… Continue reading

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

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

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

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

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
