July always feels like the Saturday of summer, and August the Sunday night. Tomorrow’s August 1st, and I can already feel that creeping Sunday-night energy. But for now? I’m leaning into it: bike rides, boogie boarding, beach reads, family dinners. Sun-drunk and salty.

You know how you walk from room to room and see everything as if for the first time?
Rehoboth Beach Week: 2024 Edition
This week, I’m writing from Rehoboth Beach, DE, where my family rents condos every year for the last week in July. My daughter and grandkids fly in from Oregon. “It’s a tradition,” said the 10-year-old. We joke about how it’s like a job at this point. We have to get things DONE. Check boxes.

Our place was just "eh" but it was 100 steps from the beach and tucked away behind Rehoboth's only Juice Bar, so … Continue reading Everyone Is Enlightened But Me
What’s a Vacation?
I’m on vacation. Here’s what my vacation looked like this morning: Here’s what it looked like a few hours later: I’m on a crowded beach in Rehoboth, DE. It’s 100 degrees. It’s “Where’s Waldo?” out here. Family dysfunction is on full display It’s probably the last place you’d expect to find me (your yoga teacher) … Continue reading What’s a Vacation?
