2020-03-26 Climbing the Pyramid is a Struggle

My basic needs are being met, and I’m grateful for that. By Maslow’s standards, I’m probably at Safety and while that’s ok, I’m desperate to go higher. But I’m stuck.

2020-01-24 One Way to Start a Friday

I woke up shortly after 3am and was immediately consumed by thoughts about everything going on. A veritable Rolodex of current events. 1. 8 days until the wedding. 😱 2. Cleaning the house for the party. 3. Being so scattered I missed my sisters birthday lunch and wondering if she’s going to hold it against…
