Going to be straight up honest here today: I’m struggling with clinical depression. Also warning: this is about prayer. If you know me in my off-line life, this probably is no surprise — in the last week I have received a message with a self-care worksheet from my mom, a text from a wonderful friend that she is… Continue reading depressed but not despairing

first fig
First Fig – Edna St. Vincent Millay My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends — It gives a lovely light. Not the poetry dose for the week. Just how I am feeling. Tired. Burnt out. Emotionally wimpy. My extroverted self is even… Continue reading first fig
grasping for ghosts
Last July was a time in my life when I woke up early on the weekend, ready to hop out of bed and do chores and accomplish things. Have a clean apartment and be exciting. I had lots of activities and visitors and visits to make. I’m not so interested in that this July. Over… Continue reading grasping for ghosts

Two weeks abandoned. Late nights at work + prioritizing social activity and physical activity + spending many… Continue reading unqualified bloggers are us

Even though I am now vegging out to the Brooklyn 99 premiere on my couch, a couple hours ago, I got to hear Jennifer Fulwiler from Conversion Diary speak about 6 blocks from my house. It was amazing. She is a smart, funny, engaging speaker, and it was great to hear her talk about her recent… Continue reading thought i already recommended this
rage against the airlines
Happy Fourth of July! I have been looking forward to celebrating the weekend with my brother for what seems like ages and was looking forward to his arrival yesterday in the early evening. Fast forward, and he has just departed Cleveland to arrive at 10am today… a city that was not in his travel itinerary.… Continue reading rage against the airlines
