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
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 [...]
Authentic Stereotype
Guys...am I a hippie? You don't have to answer. I know the truth, and I'm actually okay, even *good* with it. It's just funny to me, to realize how, as I have slowly, over time, come into my own, how my identity has settled, and how different it is, both from who I thought I [...]
Not alone, Not lonely.
When I woke up this morning, you were my first happy thought, my first smile. Maybe it's because the anniversary of when we met is so close (Fun Fact- SYATP is on that same date this year!), maybe it's because I woke up sore, and remembered your encouragement that last night's ride was for *me*, [...]
Wellness Wednesday 8/5/20
Yet again, what a week! Just as I was starting to envision the next few months of adding Yoga Teacher Training to my days, Thursday night we got the email we had been waiting for since late February-we had finally been matched with a dog by the Lab Rescue! Everything since then has been a [...]
Wellness Wednesday 7/29/20
It’s been…a week! My pinky slice has all but healed, thankfully, but my hormones have had me on an emotional roller coaster, and the addition of plenty of sugar and fun foods probably didn’t help. I also made a major life decision-for the good, but still a huge change- and the enormity of it is [...]
New Beginnings and the Balance They Require
All through this pandemic, I’ve been hearing people say “Well, now we have more time,” or “I know you have the time!” Maybe that’s true for some or even most people, but it’s not for me! Very little has changed in my daily life, largely due to the way that my anxiety has limited me [...]
Wellness Wednesday 7/22/20
This week has been so good! I am really getting into a groove with these areas that feels more natural and enjoyable and less like work. I feel like that can only be a good sign. I did something a little crazy, but with incredible payoff, so definitely worth it. I obviously still have so [...]
Wellness (not) Wednesday 7/16/20
Whew! It’s been a big week for my wellness journey. I just finished the first draft of my first book -*about* my wellness journey-on July 2nd, the day before my 38th birthday. This is the first Wellness Wednesday entry that I am going to include in that book, because writing it really served to help [...]
Can I Be Real a Second-For Just a Milisecond?
Tell the people how I feel a second? Okay, yes, Hamilton has permeated my bloodstream, but that's a whole other conversation. Unfortunately, what I want to talk about is much less fun. I'm not doing well with this pandemic stuff lately. I, probably like most of us, have been like a swinging pendulum between "Good [...]
