I’m having a nostalgic week over here and am amazed at how invigorating it’s been.
A college friend sent a group text last week to myself and some other alums to let us know she was speaking the next night for Founders Weekend at our alma mater. She wondered if anyone was up for joining her.
When I was a senior in high school, I went to a lot of information sessions with representatives from various colleges sharing all of the reasons why their school was the one to choose. I was naive and thought they were simply doing us a favor by coming to tell us about their offerings. I never thought of them as a “salesperson” jockeying for my tuition money.
Do you ever write something you’ve already done on your to-do list for the sheer satisfaction of crossing it off?
Several years ago, when Melissa and I were in Belize, we decided to go zip lining through the jungle — something I thought I’d never have the guts to do (it was amazing!).
Last week as Melissa and I were working on some house projects, she stopped what she was doing and said “Hey! Your birthday is coming up. What do you want to do?”
Since moving from our tiny house to this big house (if you consider 1,000 sq ft “big”), I’ve gotten a little too trigger happy on the “Order Now” button.
Coming from a big math family (financial advisors, CPAs, etc.), I decided to study journalism and writing in college.
I don’t know about you, but with everything going on in the world, I am struggling to focus, contain my emotions, or think clearly about what role I can play in the healing of humanity.
We’re in the heart of winter here in New England — a time when it takes everything I have to show up to the day. In fact, it just dawned on my that I didn’t even send a letter to you last week!
Isn’t the idea of clear, clutter-free spaces so seductive?
