Have you ever been sick of yourself?

Like, everything is shitty and if you could just clear the decks and start over, you’d get it right this time?

I’ve tried this. Done it with jobs. Food. Exercise.

Some people do it with social circles or friend groups. Or rel

This is ridiculous, but one of my favorite ways to waste time is to PLAN.

I love sticking my nose in my phone’s calendar to plan future outings, dates, experiences.

Often I don’t actually HAVE the dates, experiences, or outings I desire because I waste so much ti...

I’m guilty of overstuffing my brain. I’m kind of addicted to it.

I lerrrrve online courses! And when I’m listening to podcasts or reading books, I don’t feel like I’m wasting time.

I feel like a student – and a good student this time!

But this constant intake of

Back in the olden days of 1980-something, my dad complained the thousands of decisions he’d make each day at work.

I’d think, Jeez, Dad. Poor you. How hard is it to make decisions all day long?

After you take a swim test at camp, you get a bracelet – the color indicates your level.

It never made enough to pay me.

I gave back my 20% ownership last summer, giving up more than $200K in unpaid earnings an

I was doing something I’d never done before. We had 9,000 square feet of wide open space in our fitness studio, and I was dancing. 

It was the first time in two years that I felt free enough to do anything like this. I’d put down my work, cranked up Flo Rida, and

When I was little, I had a massive girl-crush on my Auntie Sue. She told me she’d rather have a messy home & a happy family. Huh?

Our house was always spotless. Four kids. Two adults. One dog. One guinea pig. One bathroom.

You want something. I just know it. You’ve been…

• trying to lose weight for years now.
• saying you want to be a more present parent.
• fantasizing about a different career.
• plotting finding that perfect relationship.

Then, suddenly, BAM! You find yourself in the

My hubs was stressed out. Withdrawn & crabby isn’t his usual state, so I knew it was my job to fix it & bring him back to normal.

In my childhood, my mom was often in the same kind of mood. It looked different on her, but when she was angry, irritated, overwhelmed,

Nothing good happens at 4:30am, right?

Well, at 4:30am on the first day of Winter Break in Syracuse, people are trying to escape, and there is a one-hour-long line snaking for TSA.

People start to…you know…uh, be human. Ignoring rules, cutting in line, behaving bad
