Today is the tenth anniversary of the day our third child, Jackson James Breakall, entered the world, too small to join it, and so, also the day we said goodbye, without ever really meeting him. I will almost certainly write, later today, about his brief life, and what it gave us, but, right now, what [...]

Well, it's been awhile, hasn't it? This is the first Wellness Wednesday post I have written in years that won't be in my wellness book, because... I published it yesterday! You can find it here: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0BV4MRKN8&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_BNRQ9E511X8XDDA86Z6F I hesitated to dive into writing this today, because, honestly, I'm not in a great place. I would much [...]

Last weekend (7/23) we hosted a birthday party for Ladybug, which I plan on sharing much more about in depth, but suffice it to say, for now, that it was a huge deal and I'm still incredibly proud, thankful, and overwhelmed by how lovely it was. We have some incredible friends and family who are [...]

This is my body, today. I did nothing to prepare for this picture, other than clean the mirror and close the blinds so I’d be less backlit.  I didn’t remove the hair from my face, or try to find a flattering pose, or anything like that. This is my body, today. This is not a [...]

Welcome to 2022, Dear Friend! I’m not sure how it has been going for you, but this year is starting in a very mixed bag for me! I have SO much intention and passion and hope for this year, but at the same time, my engine is sputtering to a start, and even the days [...]

Welcome to 2022, Y’all! I think, at this point, all the “New Year New ME” posts and declarations ring a little hollow, or at least they do for me, at least as regards myself. (YMMV, you do you, Boo!) Maybe it’s that I don’t want a *new* me, I just really want to be able [...]

I’m sitting here trying to remember the past week, because, maybe due to this hormonal limbo I am living in, it’s a bit of a blur. I’m really exhausted, but not completely in a bad way. I’ve essentially taken a full week off from YTT, both because I haven’t had the mental energy to tackle [...]

Wellness Wednesday 9/16/20 I’m not gonna lie, all the stuff I usually write about here has been very much back-burnered the past week in favor of focus on my yoga teacher training- and in that area, I’ve made tremendous progress! I’m over halfway done overall, and am totally finished with anatomy, which feels amazing. The [...]
