Tailwhips

(Found in my drafts from 3 and a half years ago) My kid has been trying to land tailwhips on his scooter for over two years. When was the last time you tried anything for that period of time? He is a fearless creature; this characteristic not only shows up in what he does physically, […]

This is about weight loss, but more about life gain

I am not going public on my socials about this, so if you’re here, you have found this article based on following me forever or some internet wizardry I just don’t care enough to understand. Whatever the reason, let me tell you this is about weight loss, but more about life gain. If this hook […]

#staycurious

Go to what makes you smile; the things that tickle your soul and ignite your curiosity. I’m starting to find mine again… I lost my way for a bit and let myself fall into old patterns. I’m practicing daily.

Step 9: Amends

I’m writing letters. They’ll all start with the same few sentences. Yours will not contain a different opening, but what follows will be mine and yours only.

Social and physical distancing, sanitizing protocols, restrictions, vaccinations, political unrest, loss of family and friends and our sense of our selves. This time has tested our relationships, our grit, focus and all that make us loving and caring humans. […]
