If you ask me what the first thing that pops into my head when I hear the word “hemp”, it would be choker necklaces that we used to buy with our pet hermit crabs at those cheesy beach shops on vacation. The second thing that comes to mind is weed. Embarrassingly, I really didn’t know […]

What Number Are You? The Enneagram
I’ve taken a lot of personality tests. I’m outgoing. I like people. I like big ideas, not details. I’m a blue not an orange or green. And so on and so on. All of these tests have been helpful, but nothing especially life-changing. Certainly, nothing I continued to talk about weeks and months later. Then, Molly and I took […]

Need a Winter Pick-Me-Up? Take a Hike

I Gave up Goals for New Years: 'Atomic Habits' Book Review
Tell me I’m not the only one: I’m over the whole “new year resolutions” game. Maybe you wake up on January 1st each year brimming with optimism, but I find myself wrestling with some weird feelings at the start of the year. It’s far too easy to fall into the comparison trap while scrolling […]
The Healing Power of Music
When I’m driving. When I’m working. When I’m cooking. When I’m showering. When I can’t get to sleep. First thing every Friday morning when I wake up….I’m listening to music. Fear of silence? Maybe. More so a strong joy and emotional pang that music gives me, enhancing even the blandest of experiences like shampooing my […]
