Having passed the 150 mark, I can definitively say that what’s made the biggest difference is a daily reminder that I can tap and take immediate action on. As much as I prefer pen and paper journaling, it never stuck like this.


The beautiful evening turned a short neighborhood walk into a four mile hike.


Memorial Day weekend was full of much-needed time reconnecting to nature with family and friends. I welcome the soreness from all the hiking and kayaking.

Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine

🖖🏻 The most important thing the Picard series did for me was continue the story of my favorite Star Trek character, Seven of Nine. Everyone has their hot-takes on the series but I was just so happy for the chance to watch her journey continue.

This photo is a stand-in for an insightfully funny, but relatable, post about how my kid learning to drive is great but also filling me with a parental terror I thought I’d managed within myself but obviously haven’t.


The Sad Ballad of Captain Keeves

There once was a captain who had skin like the sea
And his beard was as white as his spirit was free
He came to meet creatures who hailed from the land
And convinced them to join him as a sea-fairing band.

He bartered a pearl for a ship with no name …


All the windows are open to let in the sweet smell of spring.


Enjoying the quiet of the morning before everything begins.


Enjoying the view from my “office” today.
