An ode to the beautiful, charming city I’ve called home for the past 10 years…

I’m not entirely sure how an entire year has passed since my last birthday (because it feels like it’s still March 2020), but here we are.

Welp. It’s safe to say this is not how I anticipated the first few months of this new year and new decade unfolding. These times are uncertain and scary, and I feel a heavy emotional load right now.

And just like that, it’s February already. I know lots of people tend to think January lasts for 4 months, but for me, it flew by. And if that’s any indication of how fast the rest of the year is going to go…yikes!

Happy new year and happy new decade!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but I thought I’d come back to recap (briefly) the decade that was and to say, “hey, I’m on a brief blogging break.” While I love this space, right now I feel like I need a hiatus to focus on other things, and to rethink the focus here.

In the past month, I’ve said “no” to two really big opportunities. Ones that 10 years ago, I would have given anything for. Ones that many people would think I’m nuts for turning down.

And…we’re halfway through 2019. May felt especially busy this year, and I’ve heard that it’s like that for lots of families with all kinds of activities kicking up. So much so that it’s been dubbed “May-cember.” It’s like December without the Christmas trees and Santa.

It’s been a crazy few weeks around here. Life, running, dog stuff. And I’m tired. And I need to pivot (and please tell me someone other than me got the Friends reference in the title here).
