I can’t believe it’s already been a week since I went to Purpose & Practice. What is P&P? Well, it’s a personal development retreat/yoga + meditation experience/purpose-definining, persona-changing, uplifting weekend of connection. Put on by lululemon, including airfare, food, and accommodations. For free. I’ve been working for lululemon for six years and I am still … Continue reading
I repeated that to myself like a mantra when V was little and cried all the time. The days are long, the years are short. And sure enough, that’s still true. I mentioned yesterday that she’s been feverish and super needy. Today was more of the same. There is nothing longer than a full day … Continue reading
The best laid plans. I had all of these ideas for the blog today, and instead my kid had a 102-degree fever and cried most of the night and definitely cried all of today. C came home around 1:30 and I had to be at work at 3. So here I am, on my ten … Continue reading
The words “Rise up” are following me recently. First, Hamilton, which I fell in love with and saw in May. Then, at Purpose & Practice, a yoga/meditation retreat for lululemon employees that I attended last weekend. On the final day, we talked about rising up and living our purpose, and they played an acoustic song … Continue reading
Hello! In yoga the other day, it came to me that I should blog for 100 days. There are a lot of reasons I am inspired to do this, much of which I’m sure I’ll talk about in the next 100 days! But one of them came from meeting Ben Nemtin the other night. Ben … Continue reading
Let me back up. I was having breakfast with a dear friend this morning who has known me a long, long time. She knows all about this blog and about all of you, of course. We were talking about our lives, relationships, careers and the future. And suddenly, I just said out loud what I’ve … Continue reading
Today is October 15th. Five years ago, I came home from work, and as C trimmed his toenails (true story), I said I still didn’t feel like things were okay between us, and he agreed. I never imagined what he’d finally work up to say just twenty minutes later. “I think I need to be … Continue reading
When C and I first dated over ten years ago, we joked about getting married and one day having a baby girl named Violet. That was all innocent flirting then, but now all of it has actually come to pass. Except that the baby is gone, and I have a toddler instead! Where did the … Continue reading
I started this blog almost five years ago. I was sitting at a Starbucks near my boyfriend’s (C, who would later leave me, and come back, and marry me) house, racking my brain about why I’d been so much happier in Japan. And when I looked back, it was all of the little things that … Continue reading
I remember promising myself that if I ever got C back, I would write about how I did it. I remember all those late nights full of pain, and I wanted to help someone else who was googling “how to get your ex back” in the middle of the night. Not so long ago, I … Continue reading
