If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been—same place as always, just moving fast and holding a lot. Since my last post, a lot has been happening, the kind of life-stuff that doesn’t always make it to the internet but definitely leaves fingerprints on your days.
The biggest update? I’m now the Secretary of a local nonprofit. It’s equal parts rewarding and exhausting—the good kind of tired, the kind that comes from showing up for something bigger than yourself. I’ve learned more than I expected, stretched in ways I didn’t plan on, and somehow made some really great new friends along the way. Community has a funny way of finding you when you’re not looking.
I also turned 30 at the beginning of the month. And honestly? I don’t feel wildly different. Still spotting gray hairs like they’re rare Pokémon. Still arriving most places 90% put together / 10% disheveled—which feels less like a flaw and more like a personal brand at this point. Thirty didn’t come with a dramatic transformation, just a quieter confidence, a deeper appreciation for coffee that’s still hot and a ittybitty bit of chaos.
The kids are doing amazing. Perfect attendance—woot woot. They’re thriving, learning, growing, and reminding me daily that time is rude and does not slow down for anyone. (My daughter likes to point out my gray highlight more often then I’d think possible.) Watching them succeed is still my favorite thing, even on the days when the mornings feel like organized chaos.
So now I’ll turn it back to you—because that’s always been the heart of this space.
How have you been? What little (or big) ittybitty updates are happening in your world? I’d love to hear them.
Thanks for sticking around.
I’m still here—just living, learning, and occasionally forgetting where I set my phone.
