happy Featured Happy (Self-) Love Day I've been reflecting on where I was a year ago: packing up my belongings from the house I had lived in with my ex during the prior year. I had just ended our 2 1/2-year relationship, and he wanted me out of his house ASAP. Snowstorm (or lack of housing) be damned.

resolutions Featured On Resolutions - What 2021 Taught Me I achieved a lot of "firsts" in 2021: I completed my first trail race, finally attained my goal weight (something I've tried for 10+ years), quit my job with no new job lined up (a glorious feeling!). . .
