Day 3: Election Day: Dance with it
On edge. But okay. I picked cards again today. Yesterday I was feeling scared, nervous, anxious, and worried. Today I’m feeling concerned, but optimistic. And also hopeful, and also grateful for what I have. I’m feeling calmly hopeful. And also a little scared and terrified. I love Elizabeth Gilbert. On her Instagram today she told a … Continue reading Day 3: Election Day: Dance with it

NaNoWriMo: Day One. Ka-Bong.
My College Bong I have been avoiding writing all day. I’ve been doing what all great writers do when faced with a scary writing project: Clean.

A Rant: A Video on Facebook
The other day I watched a disturbing video on Facebook. It was about two teen kids who take their mother for granted their whole lives, then stand at her grave at the end, learning too late all of the sacrifices she made for them. The message was clearly: Don’t take your mother for granted. But … Continue reading A Rant: A Video on Facebook
The Ultimate Yogi Rescued Me From Impostor Syndrome
My 108th day of the Ultimate Yogi falls on July 6th. Today I decided when I get up on July 7th, I’m starting over. I can’t believe I’m saying this.
