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! In the panic of realizing that I broke my streak, I filled out the questions back in April and mailed them off, and Continue reading

Cut, Drive, Be a Beginner
I learned to drive in a few different cars, one of which being a red truck. I got my license on the later side (by non-big city standards) and was extremely nervous to get behind the wheel. I felt like a snail trying to make its way down the sidewalk, with big stomping feet narrowly Continue reading

I’m 34!
Last year I wrote this post about my birthday and I thought I would pop in today with a similar sentiment. A book I read recently described birthdays as “not a day to celebrate progress…[but] a day to celebrate existence.” And I thought, yes! That is exactly how I feel. Because what a treat to Continue reading

Don’t Let Anyone Crush Your Wonder
There are so many parts of life that amaze me. Silly parts, little parts, seemingly insignificant parts that I wish I could hold above my head and scream, “Can you BELIEVE this?!” It is a quality I really like about myself, and one that keeps me contently daydreaming. It makes me an avid Googler, constantly Continue reading

The Lists Worth Making
In a time when eating was not an enjoyable, sustaining activity, but one that seemed to pose a threat, offer a test, and promise to destroy the goal I believed was most important—being thin—I used to list what I ate out loud. Every day, usually near the end of the day, I would pretend I Continue reading

The Colorful Explosion of Is
Once or twice a month I feel specifically like this. Like the world truly is big and vast and full of possibility. Like everything I could ever do and learn and see and experience is right here at my fingertips. Like there is simply too much for me to find, but rather than being discouraged Continue reading

Root to Rise (Another Lesson I Learned in Yoga)
I have written about yoga multiple times on my blog (here and here), especially Yoga with Adriene, who I found during the pandemic and has been a cozy internet friend ever since. As I continue to practice, I continue to find new lessons in it. The other day, I was doing a flow practice that Continue reading

May & June Favorites
Hello, friends. We’re back with another edition of favorites! Didn’t we just do one of these? Is this year going 75 in a 35 and should be pulled over for speeding? Did that comparison make sense? Anyway. Here’s what we’ve got. — Podcasts To my absolute delight, my brother recently recommended The Lonely Island & Continue reading

My Summer Bucket List
Last September, I saw people making fall bucket lists meant to help them fully embrace the season. They were lists of activities that are either only available in the fall or perhaps just the most fun in the fall. Things like drink hot apple cider, go apple/pumpkin picking, or do a Turkey Trot. My sister Continue reading

Today I’m Staying Off My Phone
This is something I’ve been saying to myself on the weekends. Especially when I have an open day to spend at home. I leave my phone on the charger in my bedroom, and it stays there. Any calls or messages are sent to my FitBit, and I will respond if necessary, otherwise, nothing, I am Continue reading
