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…
I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2022 photo credit: @elizabethtsung via Unsplash My friend Stephany recently shared her new rules for dating (specifically online dating) after reading Logan Ury’s book, How Not to Die Alone (which I haven’t read, but am intrigued by) and I literally had to…
I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2021 photo credit: @nickmorrison via @unsplash Here we are, a week into NaBloPoMo and you’re losing steam. What now?

{via unsplash.com} Oh hey, it’s 2019. In all honesty, I haven’t had the mental space to wrap my head around yet another ‘new year’.

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…
I am just coming off a three day weekend and have not managed to blog. So there is that. At least, I can try and throw a little update together. You’d like that, right?. + I had planned to publish the first road trip recap post this week, but I think this will have to wait…

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. It’s been 16 years since I came to California for an exchange semester and then practically never left (I mean, besides flying back and forth for…
+ 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,…
