Sometimes I answer reader questions in public instead of via email. I like eavesdropping and I know some of you might, too. I got a link to your blog from the Project 333 website, and I have been devouring it ever since. I admire your self-control: you make it look so easy! I am alsoRead the whole post >>

[May Update] Start running again. I ran 9 times, for a total of 34 miles. Not a bad start after running 4 times and 18 miles in the previous four months. I started some speedwork, too, with the help of RunKeeper. We were out of town for 5 days in May, so I’m hoping this month willRead the whole post >>

Even though I aspire toward minimalism in many aspects of my life (Gabe’s toys, my wardrobe, and how I’d rather get rid of stuff than organize it), I have never been a light traveler.

Let me introduce you to my youngest sibling. I can hardly believe he is graduating from high school. Which means I graduated from high school a DECADE ago. But this is about him, not me.

[April Update] Clean out the ever-loving car. Done and, more importantly, it’s stayed clean. Hallelujah. Read a fiction book. I read both Sharp Objects and Daddy’s Little Girl, mostly for nostalgia sake, since when I was in high school I read every Mary Higgins Clark book I could get my hands on. The books were incrediblyRead the whole post >>

Hooray for spring! 1. I am three days (really? only three days!?) into this no Twitter/Instagram/Facebook thing and it already feels quieter. Over the last year, I have drastically reduced how much time I spend on social media thanks to Hootsuite and lists, but it still became a compulsion to check those sites mindlessly.

The cloud is lifting. Slowly. And I’m sure there will be some more dips in the roller coaster eventually, but for now, I’m counting my blessings. And there are so, so many. I’ve been showered with love. The outpouring of supportive, wonderful comments from YOU. I’ve gotten care packages and cards and I am buriedRead the whole post >>
