A special section for special times. This is what kept me covidtained? this week. Last week’s here. Workouts Yard work. This weekend, not only did I plant or pot new trees: fig, avocado, olive, and peach, but my parents, brother, and I all composted and mulched our beds … I hauled 85 bags of mulch…
This feels like an embarrassment of riches. There is literally not enough time in the day to do all the yoga with all the teachers I have loved and lost when I moved away. The quarantine’s silver lining is that they’re back and zoom classes are the only option so I get to experience the…

Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
I am grateful for my yoga practice, and how it centers/grounds me. I spend a ton of my time playing a lot of sports, CrossFitting with friends, hitting the gym solo, and doing yoga. I LOVE all of these things. But sometimes, I start to wrap too much of my identity in these things and when…

The best therapy. Banging heavy weights. Snatch, deadlift, power clean. Squat, lunge, press. New job has me doing this less, and I didn’t know how much I needed it until I wasn’t doing it. And I got grouchy. REAL grouchy. Apologies to everyone who ever interacted with me over the past couple of weeks. I’m…
