    2025-08-13 Hands to Heart Center

    It’s August. It’s the 13th day of the month, and the 13th day in a row I’ve woken with a headache or a migraine. And I’ve been so, so tired. Feeling tired all day is the result of struggling through these headaches, managing every moment like it’s the single cell of a spreadsheet that has…

    2025-07-02 Welcome to July

    After my last post a friend of mine messaged me and said “good luck doing nothing.” Or something like that and it’s true… I set an intention for June to do less. I wanted to minimize the pressure I constantly feel to do more or counterbalance that feeling that I’m never doing enough. How frustrating…

    2025-06-02 Live and Let Go

    I’ve started a few new pieces of writing in the last month and haven’t finished a single one. Well, at least not to the point of posting or sharing with anyone. My mood on a daily basis has been unpredictable, and I’m in the upside down. What should bring me me joy does not, yet…

    2025-03-02 For the Joy of It

    I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about joy. And more specifically about how to feel more joy, and measure it. Measure joy?? That sounds like crazy talk but I’d like to think that if we can have benchmarks and goals around other aspects of our health, why can’t our emotional state be included…

    2024-12-17 Oh, Hello Again.

    December 17th. Happy Birthday Kel.  One of my oldest and dearest friends. We both rotated around the same circles in high school, tethered by the gravitational force of mutual friends and bonded by humor. I’m grateful for our many years of comradery and kinship.  December 17th is a day that always seems to want to…

    2024-10-31 A Spooky Sort of Update…

    It feels great to be back on my elliptical machine. It was pretty depressing to be away for so long.  The sadness and melancholy I suffered the last couple months was primarily due the big shift in my routine, but as life typically has it, the injury was not the only contributing factor to my…

    2024-10-29 Still Kicking It (The Can, Down the Road)

    September came and went. October too, it seems. How easily time slips away when… whenever, however, whatever always happens.  It’s been a few months since I rubbed a couple sticks together and made a spark of a sentence. There are a few forces behind my hiatus from writing. The first of which is a fall…
