Hey there!

A Week of Reflection

Hello, everyone. Last week, I participated in a week of silence, or muting my content to allow Black voices to be heard, stories to be told, artists and influencers to be spotlighted, etc., and I also spent time reflecting, educating myself, and committing myself to doing whatever I can to contribute to making the world … Continue reading A Week of Reflection →

A Beautiful Week in Chicago

Hey, everyone. It's a mild, summery evening in Chicago and I am sitting by the window and breathing in my favorite scent (firewood--our neighbors are having a bonfire) while blogging. I spent the past week being outside as often as I could, and I went on a ton of walks, rode my bike, and skated, … Continue reading A Beautiful Week in Chicago →

An Overview of Craziness

Hey, everyone. I haven't blogged in about a month. Things have been so crazy for me since the beginning of March. Working in the communications department of a university requires a lot of intensive work during a crisis. COVID-19 opens up questions and decisions that need to be made about students, faculty, staff, facility, services, … Continue reading An Overview of Craziness →

Catch-Up Post

Hello--it's Sunday evening and we just had a fifty-degree day in Chicago. Julian, Oliver, and I spent it in the woods. I had a full week of healthy eating, workouts, and doctor appointments, so I'll try to bring things up to speed here starting from last Sunday. I spent the morning grading. Sometimes, it's really … Continue reading Catch-Up Post →

Weird Week Between Christmas/New Year’s Recap

Hello, all. I left off around this time last week. This week has been pretty slow at work since a lot of people took off, and it was kind of slow at home, too. I guess it's sort of nice to slow down. I always seem to be moving at such a fast pace that … Continue reading Weird Week Between Christmas/New Year’s Recap →

Starved Rock

Last Friday, my best friend and I each had a rare day off together and decided to drive up from Starved Rock. We both live near the south side of Chicago, so the drive took about an hour and 30 minutes, but it flew by because we were so busy talking! We got really lucky … Continue reading Starved Rock →

A Look Back at My Week

Hello! It's been a crazy week, and I haven't had much time to do anything. I seem to have developed a sinus infection last Sunday, so I was fighting it all week and had to take a small break from my workouts. The week didn't exactly go as planned in terms of my general fitness … Continue reading A Look Back at My Week →

Small Recap

Hello! It's a beautiful night in Chicago - today has taken on the sort of aesthetic I love. It's slightly warm but there's a cool breeze, and the sky is gray and a little dark, but the wind in the trees rustled in a way that the movement of the leaves and the birds made … Continue reading Small Recap →
