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…

2025-04-27 Asked and Answered: Insights from I Ching Hexagram 64

This week I’ve failed to finish (or even start) most items on my to-do list. I had a convo with my work wife, M, about this and we’re both suffering the same paralysis trying to get out of the gate. My mind is spinning and unable to stop long enough to focus on a task,…

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…

2025-01-04 Maybe I Will, and Maybe I Won’t

In 2024 I spent a fair bit of time in reflection and despite the constant hum of hope vibrating in my core, actual life felt like a huge struggle much of the time. I entered the year in a self-imposed hibernation and was poised to come out swinging in February. I was going to make…

2025-12-29 The Ultimate Chutes and Ladders

A few days ago I started a new entry, the all-encompassing year-end wrap-up. Cuz that’s my way. Or should I say, that’s usually my way. I’ve historically found it pretty satisfying to write about some topic, start to finish, where I can tie everything together with a beautiful bow and present it like a true…
