  • This week marks a year since my surgery for endometriosis (and other thoughts on infertility)

    I’m still not pregnant. Is that too direct? Too honest? As I laid in bed earlier this week I had the perfect intro for this post. One that felt like a graceful door opening into this part of my life. But I can’t seem to remember it now as I… Read ⇢

  • Donald Trump isn’t going to save you and neither is Kamala Harris

    As we walk further into an already tumultuous election year there seems to be a lot of anxiety about the future of America. Trust me, I feel it too, especially after the presidential debate earlier this week. And this election matters a lot to me — it’s the first presidential… Read ⇢

  • Welcome, to my Unofficial Book Club.

    I love reading. In fact, when I was in elementary school I had hundreds of AR points. Anyone remember those? We have a photo of me somewhere in the depths of my parents’ basement (or maybe my grandparents’ house) of me proudly posed as the reader of the month in… Read ⇢

  • What the last six months have taught me (since leaving my job)

    Six months. That’s how long it’s been since I said goodbye to the cubicle life and my former role of nearly nine years. I’ve spent a lot of time these last several months floored by what my life looks like now that it’s not led and directed by a role… Read ⇢

  • I’m back. No, really, I am.

    Wow, friends. Seven years. That’s how long it’s been since I resurrected my blog, wrote my last post, and swore I was committed to writing and bringing it back to life. I was, as you can see, wrong and grossly underestimated my free time in that season of my life… Read ⇢
