Running is my therapy
Believer in kindness, joy, and laughter
Never miss an opportunity to be kind
When you spend $120K having your bathrooms fixed and 10 months of construction, and 7 months later here we are. This is the dining room ceiling. 🤬😭🤦‍♀️

I can’t sleep. It’s 3:19am and I’m listening to the owls talking to each other. It’s beautiful.🦉

Hey #EduSky. When you head back, heed this advice:

Check the weather and plan your outfits for the week. Add in 1-2 comfort outfits that feel good NO MATTER WHAT in case you’re having A DAY.

Good luck, friends. 💛

To all the teachers heading back to school tomorrow, rest tonight and remember: you are doing great! Breathe and give yourself grace. 🩷

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Happy New Year's Eve! We had no sunrise this morning despite great promises of color, but here is a pre-dawn shot of some boats at one of our downtown docks this morning. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day – and I look forward to flushing 2025 with you at midnight!

Hoping to watch a ”Christmas” movie every night during this break. So far: Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Bad Santa (my first time watching this one), The Sound of Music (a family tradition), Home Alone 2, and Die Hard. 🎄 I am open to suggestions! #christmasmovies

Ahhh. When putting on the exercise clothes is more work than the 5 mile run. 🤦‍♀️🤣

For some of you it’s heat and traffic.
For some it’s rain tapping your window.
For some it’s a café, a corner store, a borrowed quiet.

Different places.
Same pause.

Wherever you’re standing—
hope the day loosens its grip for a sec.

Dear listeners,

When the days feel narrow and the noise gets loud, try a song.
Not as escape — as evidence.
Someone, somewhere, once felt this too and made something that still holds.

If hope is hiding, it often hums first.

Boy Waving

Tired and old
Trying my best
Making my way up the hills
Past a little boy raking leaves
He smiles and waves to me
Glad I went for a run today

Today felt like 5 days. I am thankful for the weekend.

Running Home

Quiet calm
Cold air
White sky
Rhythmic footfalls on the empty road
A beating heart
I am home
Rhythmic footfalls on the empty road
A steady pace
On my way home
