The Winter Solstice really got me thinking about how much I need to prioritize rest because at its core, winter in the US and the Pacific Northwest is all about rest.
5 reasons I am obsessed with Peloton
Exercising in any form is about showing up for yourself. It is about connecting to the power and strength of your body – exploring what you are capable of, exposing your limitations, and embracing the very real ways our bodies carry us through this world each and every day.
Snow days and self love
Though it is a rare occurrence, it does snow in Seattle. This weekend happens to be particularly rare because it started snowing Friday and has not stopped. Literally. It has been snowing for over 24 hours. I cannot say I’m a fan of snow anywhere outside of the gorgeous mountains that surround this beautiful city. …
What I’m reading in 2021
Let’s face it. With all the time we have on our hands in the midst of this pandemic, one of the best things we can do with our time is read. I say this after spending countless hours binge watching the latest series, movie, or reality show available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max …
Technology is no replacement for human touch
The outbreak of the coronavirus, aka COVID-19, aka “The Rona” (I love my people), has led to widespread isolation as we collectively work to stop the spread of the virus.

How to successfully plan for 2020
As a Gen Xer who was born in the 70s but came of age in the 80s, preparing for year 2020 has me shook. Shook I tell you! Seriously, how many pop culture moments were based on life in futuristic 2020? We had such high hopes for this year; flying cars, recreational space travel, teleportation …
Let’s go sailing
I don’t know how many times I say this in any given month, but you only get one life. And we have no idea how long that life will be. I’ve told you my plan is to live to be at least 111 like Bilbo Baggins. The epic party to be thrown in my honor …
More than a glow up: project think on these things
I have found myself existing in a very strange space lately. There isn’t much that rattles me. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Either way, I’m a very even keel person. The past few months I have had to be incredibly intentional to not let my emotions control my …
