“What happened to you? You used to be as tough as nails.”  That’s what Mum said last week when I told her a story about needing Dreamboat’s help.  “I’ve never heard you talk like that.”  That was another observation made by Mum this week when I was describing my Covid symptoms. I was using words […]

Three weeks ago, I was flat on my back during my weekly Pilates class, trying to breathe into my back.  Pilates has surprised me in many ways since I started in early 2021. It is foundational. In many ways, I liken the practice of Pilates on the body to the practice of mindfulness on the […]

Today was the best day of my life!  Actually, no. That’s a lie. Today was a good day, not the best, but pretty damm good. 8/10.  But the reason why today stands out for me is not because good things happened. In fact, many objectively bad things happened.  Nope. Today stands out as a good […]

Are you okay?  That’s what the email asked.  A thoughtful question from a concerned soul on my email database. (Thank you, I love that you asked.) When I read it, though, I wobbled. “I don’t know, am I okay?” I thought.  I had my son in my arms. He had just fallen asleep at my […]

Eight weeks ago, I made a pact to write a blog post every two weeks and an email to my database every two weeks. That’s roughly 2,000 words a week, or close to 20,000 words in total. From nothing to 20,000 words feels good.  And not only am I doing it, I am teeming with […]

I caught up with my good friend Danielle this weekend. Dani and I have a long history that began when she unexpectedly slid into my DMs in 2018 as an Instagrammer who felt some connection to what I shared. She asked me to visit her at the Eco Hostel she was working at in Hvar […]

This week something crazy occurred to me. Like, mind-bending, the universe is a trickster, cuckoo-crazy. I want to share it with you. But first, the context part. Last year I shared a very vulnerable story on Instagram. I titled it 2022 and kept it in my highlights reel if you want the full backstory. It […]
