To say I'm feeling relieved after finishing my second semester is an understatement. I'm happy that I have no more math-based courses in my future, and that is part of my relief. I like the process of math, and the application of data to programming, but I didn't enjoy calculating statistics and learning software codes.… Continue reading 5 Things That Helped This Semester

Traveling Man: You don’t have to like my body, I do – and some days that’s still hard
No one’s body is your damn business unless you were truly invited in to that conversation. Let me explain. While I may share with you about overall health and stress and exercise and nutrition - this is not an invitation to comment on my body. When you’re out with others and you notice that they… Continue reading Traveling Man: You don’t have to like my body, I do – and some days that’s still hard
Remember when I took medical leave
I don't know how to start this. Part of me wants to be sing-songy because that's where my heart sits right now, but I'm unsure. It's not often that I'm at a loss for words - the joke with my friends, and sometimes with you, is that I'm full of words. I love language. Words… Continue reading Remember when I took medical leave
Traveling Man: 3 more months
I’m saying it again. What is time? I will never not say that because it makes sad that time has gone by so quickly, but excited that I’m also rushing into something else. I guess I like the collision of these feelings. The excitement of new steals our hearts. It’s what makes food and relationships… Continue reading Traveling Man: 3 more months

Writing Prompt
This month is National Poetry Writing Month – or #NaPoWriMo. It’s called 30 for 30 – 30 poems for 30 days. I wrote every day last April and was blown away at what came out on the screen, but also how relieving it was. I wrote in high school. I was on the school paper.… Continue reading Writing Prompt
Wellness Refocused Education: How to create a plan to achieve a goal
It doesn't matter what your goal is, without a plan it can feel overwhelming. It can also feel very unnatural to plan things out so I understand if you're also thinking that this post isn't for you.

Old Goals, New Routine
Last week felt peaceful. I want to say it was a good week, but I feel like good is too neutral of a word. For a while neutral was actually the goal - stress had been high and just being would've been nice. I was thinking about what made last week peaceful, what made it… Continue reading Old Goals, New Routine
Budgeted Eats Recipe: Roasted eggplant and red pepper spread
Feeding two of us, I can still find it hard to buy just the right amount of produce. My concerns when buying produce are will we eat it all before it goes bad and what will I make with it so that we're not eating the same thing. Eggplant is a tricky vegetable because our… Continue reading Budgeted Eats Recipe: Roasted eggplant and red pepper spread
Wellness Refocused Education: How to journal
This is an odd post, but I think a necessary one. For me, writing is everything. I've been writing since high school. After dance, writing was an outlet that I felt comfortable it. While I continued to dance in my head after the weight gain, imaging turns and stomps - writing is something that I… Continue reading Wellness Refocused Education: How to journal
