Goodbye 2022, hello 2023

Goodbye 2022, hello 2023

Happy New Year, friends. I hope you all arrived safely in 2023. Please excuse the late New Year’s greeting. I have no idea how we’re almost halfway through January already, but here we are. We had a little bit of a wild start into the new year. California was hit with an atmospheric river, which…

The intricacy of friendship

The intricacy of friendship

Photo by Julie Johnson on Unsplash My blog friend Charlotte wrote an interesting blog post about cutting ties with friends the other day and it stirred something up in me that I had thought and wanted to write about before, but which I never put on (digital) paper.  To get a better base line, go…

Hello 2019.

Hello 2019.

It surprises me, every time, that it just was Christmas and bam, another year is gone.While I usually look forward to the time between Christmas and New Year’s as a time…

11: Letters to the universe

Last year, I jumped on the bandwagon and posted these little snippets to the universe. Don’t we all just have to put something out there sometimes? Dear cancer – sorry for being blunt, but could you please f**k off? You’ve been bothering too many of my friends lately and I really don’t appreciate it. Dear rain – we waited for…

Hello October

Hello October

Whew. September flew by in the blink of an eye, and here we are in October. This officially feels like the first month of fall (although we’re still enjoying some pretty warm temperatures over here). Part of me doesn’t want to let a great summer go, but part of me is ready for fall. I…

Thinking Out Loud #6

It’s another Thursday and I am linking up with Amanda from Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud for some random thoughts again! + Last Saturday was my Californi-aversary.

Thinking Out Loud #5

Thinking Out Loud #5

+ I had planned to write a Labor Day Weekend recap, but honestly, there wasn’t much to recap (because we didn’t do anything exciting, besides enjoying a very laid-back weekend), so the few little highlights I will mention here. + It was super-smoky/hazy in Sacramento last weekend, mostly due to the wildfires around the state,…
