Somewhere in the crevices between racing and relaxing, I roam. I’ve learned to linger and how to move on. Life moves fast and yet it’s still the longest known experience on this plane. Today, I ran, took a beat, and ran some more. Running’s my moving meditation. That hasn’t changed. I’ve written about this seemingly…

Goals Progress Report: Joining a Dance Team (and a Grammarian’s Call to Break up with Cliches)
“Do what you love” is an adage. While some perceive this as wisdom, there’s much packed into these 4 words. And yet. I dance. I write. I run. All loves, yes. And now all regular parts of my schedule, thanks to finally doing what I love. It’s the progressive, doing, that makes all the difference…
Asking for grace via acceptance and agency
It’s April 10th, so that means another grace post! Since it’s a new month, April’s grace themes on the 10th, 20th, and 30th will start with letter A. In honor of being (nearly) halfway through with spelling out g – r – a – c – e, I’m shaking up today’s format, mainly focused on…
Receiving Grace through Rest and Remembering
It’s Wednesday, March 30th, so this is the first of 2 posts today. Read on for how I’m applying grace to rest, remembering, receiving, and responding. (I’ll also be sharing my last anticipated Womxn in Progress, highlighting my cousin Mikayla, so fill out the form here if you’d like to be featured in the future)….
Giving grace to routines, rituals, and roads
Welcome (back) to my studies on grace in 2022! On March 10th, I connected grace to topics of releasing, relationships, and responsibilities. These are all external processes, yet as in introvert, they require much inner-work. In the last 10 days, I’ve thought about grace and less-than-glamorous tasks, and that’s the first grace subject today: Applying…
Womxn in Progress: Emily Stanislawski
Every Wednesday in March 2022, I am sharing one #womxninprogress, detailing the work of a creative, inspiring womxn in my life. Click here to learn about these spotlights and/or submit a spotlight. Emily “Jinga” Stanislawski and I met at Camp Alice Chester a cool 9(!) years ago. 2013 marked her first summer working at Girl…
Grace and God, Grounding, and Going
Welcome to Post 2 on my discoveries into grace, my word for 2022. I’ve been thinking about where grace comes from. I’m currently defining “grace” as giving awareness to space and time, thinking and feeling. This definition is slightly different from my first grace post, where I announced grace as my word for the year….
(Re)establishing routine after a big change
Oh, hello again, world. It’s been a minute (okay, 2-ish months) since I’ve written last. In that time, I’ve moved to a new state, thanks to a new job. Blogging’s been on my mind. And so has change. I’d rather not write clichés. But I can tell you what I’m feeling, how I’m reacting, and…
A minimalist INFJ’s lessons from a big life change
I’m not much of a procrastinator, but I have learned a lot about myself in the last couple of days, so I apologize for the delay in blogging. No excuses. Instead, here’s some life updates, tossed in with some lessons about myself. I crave time. I measure A LOT. I do things by time: Runs,…
Let feelings direct flow, fun
“Only talk about what you want,” proclaims almost all of my morning meditations of the last week. It started as a tiny whisper, but it’s grown larger. What. I. Want. When I imagine letting myself do what I want, I have to remember it’s for me, my energy, my space, my time. It’s not about…
