The last week of summer is upon us and I am straddling two worlds. One without alarms, direction or to-do lists. The other filled with stacks of paperwork, unopened emails and projects that became covered in dust. I begrudgingly begin the transition this week back into a more structured life although my heart wants to…

Light at the End
I sit here feeling motivated in the early hours to grab this little window of time to check in and tell you all that I am finally healing, on more levels than one. This week marks 11 weeks of ice, elevation, acupuncture, taping, grinding therapy and miles upon miles of recumbent cycling. I still walk…
Knee Surgery Number 3
Two months ago as I pivoted towards the kitchen I felt a familiar pinch in my right knee. I immediately took stock in my most complicated joint, twisting and rotating, asking myself what is this? I resumed motion but there was a new awareness, something was not quite right. The next morning I woke up and…
Leaving the Nest
A few weeks ago while scanning Facebook I saw a post from the University of Arizona about a recently discovered hummingbird nest that was perched above a walkway, on the very end of a dangling cable at the new Environmental and Natural Resources Building (ENR2). They set up a camera within inches, allowing us to…
Then and Now
Can I just say how weird it feels to blog? I miss it. Almost as much as I miss my cat. I’ve come to realize that in a sea of domestic duties, checkbook balancing and other parental responsibility that this little corner of the interwebz was more than a little side gig, it was my…
Survival Mode
I survived. That’s what I want my t-shirt to say. The one I would wear so that when people I haven’t seen or talked to in a while ask “What happened?” I can just point to my chest. I had every intention of starting off the year with a renewed sense of purpose and felt…
Transitions
I have been wanting to sit down and just write for the last few weeks but have never given myself permission to just blog for the sake of blogging. I didn’t know if I wanted to keep doing the same thing day in and day out anymore and a part of that is the sitting…
The Busy Contest
It’s July and all I can think about is how much work I still have to do, not how much I have accomplished instead, I focus on the missing part. The proverbial half empty glass. I can barely look at a calendar without being reminded that I haven’t filed a Life In Session post in…
skipping a beat
I really can’t believe its July 1st. I mean seriously, I can not wrap my head around this. This week is full of milestones, one I’m happy about and the other, not so much. I meant to sit down and tell you all about it but life and when I say I life I mean…
Why I Decided to Get a J-O-B
My entire house is still asleep. It won’t be long before I have to push away from this space and start in on all the tasks that I cram into this one-hour shorter day. I’m already feeling behind. I think I’ll pour a second cup of rocket fuel, you know so I can fold laundry…
