I sat in my therapist’s office on Friday, trying to find any other subject to talk about instead of the one prominently on my mind. I don’t get to see her that often (maybe once a month?), and I talked about absolutely everything else. Until I finally said, “So, today is day 100 of writing. … Continue reading
It’s just past 4pm and already the light is receding; C and V will be home from the park soon. I used to need entire days to myself to recharge. Now, an hour alone to shower, sip coffee and read or write a little feels like a week-long vacation. Thank you husband, for giving me … Continue reading
Today I heard the words I have been looking forward to hearing my entire life. “Mommy, read to me.” She didn’t have to ask me twice. I spent a lot of time during V’s first year on my phone. To be honest, I was grateful for it: I was so sleep deprived that I needed … Continue reading
I finished my reading challenge for the year! (Click here to be friends with me on goodreads!) Thirty books. To some people, it sounds like nothing, and other people have said they can’t believe I read that much. The truth is, if I didn’t have a young child, I could easily read two books in … Continue reading
I don’t know about Ayn Rand (I actually trudged through the entirety of Atlas Shrugged), but I do love this quote. Sometimes, during this year and a half that nothing has changed for me professionally despite many promises and almosts, I have lost sight; I have let that fire go out; I have been in … Continue reading
There are two things I’ve implemented that have really changed my life since the beginning of this year, and both have cost me absolutely nothing. And before you think I’m going to say, “going to the gym” or “giving up sugar,” you’re wrong! One, which I’ve already mentioned, is carving out time for reading and … Continue reading
Add me on Goodreads here! One of the things I missed during the early, sleep-deprived days of being a new mom was READING! I was an English major and have always been a voracious reader. My most favorite days in school were when those little Scholastic flyer-booklets would be passed out. Nothing smelled better to … Continue reading
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
Um, Happy New Year? (I know, I know, it’s March!) Sorry I haven’t popped over here in a bit! I have a big post coming on Why Getting Your Ex Back Isn’t All You’ve Dreamed Of, so stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, a quick update: The first two months of this year were … Continue reading
