23 for 2023

Okay, okay so... this post is a tad late this year (better late than never, right?). This time last year I was in a major funk. I was just so utterly exhausted from the prior two years of the pandemic that I admittedly was struggling to have high hopes for 2022. Then out of nowhere … Continue reading 23 for 2023

Holocaust Remembrance Day

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington DC (November 2021) Admittedly I did not plan on writing a blog post for Holocaust Remembrance Day (1/27/22), but I woke up yesterday I just couldn't stop thinking about it. It's important to me to acknowledge this because I am continually seeing more and more bits of history lost … Continue reading Holocaust Remembrance Day

It is no secret that 2022 has gotten off to a rough start. Quite honestly, I have been in a major funk and it's been tough getting back "to the grind". Realizing this will now be third year we will be living in this pandemic is just heavy, stressful, and depressing. At first I truly … Continue reading 22 for 2022

This morning I had such a … Continue reading Pandemic Fatigue

Now being halfway through January, this is probably around the time that people start ditching whatever resolutions they’ve made for themselves. A quick Google search will reveal that a staggering 80% of new year resolutions are abandoned by February… and only 8% are actually successful by the end of the year. Why do we do … Continue reading 21 for 2021

Vegan for 31 Days: My Experience with Veganuary

It's already February! Now that the holiday madness and New Year buzz have worn off, it's time to evaluate how I did with my biggest goal in 2020: Veganuary. I don't want to assume anything here, so just in case anyone reading isn't sure, the term vegan means not consuming any animal products.  This goes … Continue reading Vegan for 31 Days: My Experience with Veganuary

How My January’s Been Going…

How is it about to be February?! I think this may be the first year of my life where January actually has flown by.  Anyone else? Just me? While January is one of my least favorite months and I am definitely not mad at it being closer to spring, I feel like time is slipping … Continue reading How My January’s Been Going…
