Reading has always been my favorite hobby. Ever since the pandemic started in 2020, I’ve leaned into reading, hard, as the best form of self-care. According to Goodreads, I’ve read more new books during the last three years than I ever did before. 66 books (23,532 pages) in 2020 68 books (23,111 pages) in 2021… [Read More]

On March 10, 2022, I received an unexpected email from LinkedIn. Normally Gmail sorts these into my Social tab, which I clear out a few times a week. But this email made it into my regular inbox… And the subject line intrigued me. “SEO Copywriter & Content Optimization Manager for Top 3 in Industry” I… [Read More]

You are so gorgeous. The words hit me quickly, quietly. Panic rose up in my throat even as I kept pushing my cart down the aisle. My heart racing, my anxiety spiking, an adrenaline rush of fear–all in a split second, before my mind could even process. Did that just happen? I immediately started second-guessing… [Read More]

On the morning of December 2, 2021, Dan and I arrived at Northside Hospital around 5:20am. The hospital didn’t even open its doors until 5:30am. My surgery was scheduled at the earliest possible time that day. We checked in with the receptionist in the first waiting room. After waiting for maybe 5-10 minutes, a woman… [Read More]

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease more than 25 years ago, at just 8 years old. While my parents tried to shield me from some of the scarier aspects of living with an Irritable Bowel Disease, I eventually realized that I might need surgery one day. Specifically, I’ve known for almost 20 years that I… [Read More]

Note: post contains Amazon affiliate links, but I’m recommending books I’ve read.  Currently I am… Reading: Hannah Swensen Mysteries by Joanne Fluke. Blame my best friend Rachel.
