If you’ve been reading these blogs or listening to my podcasts for a while you might be wondering, “Why does that girl spend so much time talking about stress?” I will answer that question. But first a little context. I often listen to audios on my commute to work. I just finished a 36-lecture series [...]

Leaving the grocery store my eyes widened as the women’s produce rolled all over the parking lot, dozens of apples awkwardly bumping down the pavement, with gravity, that fierce mistress, as their accomplice, attempting to escape their fate of becoming something delicious. I jumped into action, along with another passerby, grabbing what we could, running after what we [...]

I miss writing. I miss the habit, the practice, the publishing, the feedback and the growth that comes from writing.
