Maybe you didn’t get what you wanted because you deserved more. That’s a hard thought to accept when you’re standing in the middle of disappointment. You wanted that job.

Some days, the burdens are easy to count.
The bill that showed up at the wrong time. The conversation that keeps replaying in your head. The person you miss. The plan that fell apart. The work problem waiting for you tomorrow morning. The worry you carried to bed and somehow found sitting beside you when you woke up. We become good at keepingContinue reading “Some days, the burdens are easy to count.”
Keep Recovering Out Loud
Some people are fighting battles nobody can see. They go to work. They answer messages. They laugh with friends. They take care of their families. From the outside, everything looks normal. Inside, they might be trying to get through one more day. That is why talking about recovery matters. When someone shares that they areContinue reading “Keep Recovering Out Loud”
What Are You Still Carrying?
You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are full of yesterday’s junk. I keep coming back to that idea because it feels painfully simple. We talk a lot about wanting something new. A new job. A new relationship. A new city. A new project. A different version of ourselves. Then we wonder whyContinue reading “What Are You Still Carrying?”

Today was all about slowing down and spending a few hours underwater, without ever getting wet.

Route 1 Road Trip: Day 5 – The Day Big Sur Took Our Breath Away
Today was one of those travel days that makes you stop checking the clock.

We walked along the pier, spent some time by theContinue reading “Route 1 Road Trip: Day 3: Malibu, Santa Barbara and the Road to Lompoc”
