Summer is almost here, and all the warm-weather events are happening here in Humboldt, California—Arcata Crabs baseball, the Eureka Night Market, and day trips to the coastline, to name a few. Soon the wild blackberries that literally grow everywhere will be ready for picking. We’re preparing to move to a new home in the comingContinue reading “Check out my ice cream mustache”

Energy of the Gawds + Activism
After 5 months of brain fog, malaise, and unease, I am BACK BABY! And this time, I have the energy of the gawds. In late February, I started to feel like my old self again. I was hesitant to make it official by announcing my return to the normal world, so I waited a fewContinue reading “Energy of the Gawds + Activism”
Turning 38
I turned 38 last month and spent the unusually sunny day outside with my husband. We visited Wedding Rock at Sue Meg State Park. If you ever pass through Northern California via the 101, I highly recommend making a stop here. It’s breathtaking. We also ate at my favorite restaurant in Humboldt, Ginger, for someContinue reading “Turning 38”
New Orleans Loves Me Back
Every January or February, I go on vacation with my husband. It’s partially a celebration of my birthday but also a much-needed getaway in the cold, gray winter. This year, New Orleans called, and it did not disappoint. I lived in New Orleans right out of college and immediately fell in love head over heels.Continue reading “New Orleans Loves Me Back”
Moving Through Mourning
The U.S. is headed into a troubling next few years. I, along with many others, are in mourning and looking for answers. I’m deeply disappointed in the election results. I feel heart-broken, angry, and scared. The level of uncertainty about our future has exponentially gone up. I’m fortunate enough to be living in California. InContinue reading “Moving Through Mourning”
Love is in the Air
I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. Last month I got married to my favorite person in the entire universe. Friends and family flew in from all over the country to come celebrate with us. It was spectacularly magical. I’m not a show-y gal, so we got married at the county clerk’s officeContinue reading “Love is in the Air”
Embracing Uncertainty
My uncle found this hilarious early 90’s photo of me recently. I look so overwhelmed! What on earth could have weighed so heavily on a 4-year old? So of course I had to recreate this photo 😆 Just to be clear, I’m not feeling overwhelmed these days. I actually feel FREER than ever. I’ve unburdenedContinue reading “Embracing Uncertainty”
Ready for Summer
It’s been relatively quiet in my personal life recently, and I’m not complaining about it. I felt the shift from winter to spring in May, as the rain was replaced with strong winds and sunlight until nearly 9pm. Now I’m just anxiously waiting for the warmer temperatures. The biggest highlight in my home life rightContinue reading “Ready for Summer”
Coasting into the New Year
I had the most chill holidays EVER and I’m not complaining about it. We feasted on lamb, listened to Charlie Brown on vinyl, and saw the new Japanese Godzilla movie on the big screen (SO GOOD, by the way). I reflected on 2023 and laid to rest all lingering thoughts regarding unfinished business. Determined toContinue reading “Coasting into the New Year”
Pumpkins, Already?
I was struck with cognitive dissonance the other day when I saw a pile of pumpkins in front of the grocery store entrance. Okay, I know that many of you in the U.S. are pining for cooler weather right now. It’s been a record-breaking season for extreme heat. But I live in the temperate coastlineContinue reading “Pumpkins, Already?”
