This is it!: My 2nd 40 days to Personal Revolution
It sounds hokey, I know. I was curious when I first saw posters for 40 Days at my yoga studio. Personal Revolution, really? It’s pretty ballsy to say you’ve got a program that’ll single-handedly change the lives of those who take part. The flyer seemed so vague–forty days of WHAT will lead me to this? […]

Blown: My Stay in Seattle, Day 2
Not only has it been weeks since I published My Stay in Seattle: Day 1, but I’ve also already traveled to the opposite side of the country since then. I’ve got some catching up to do.

Glass Blowing Lessons in Seattle
Glass blowing is something I had always wanted to try. When I wrote my bucket list, it was among the many things which I thought seemed distant and unrealistic.

In my usual fashion, I spent a few weeks searching the web for life-changing, bank-breaking activities […]

Spreading Smiles
I was stoked when I inherited Mark’s convertible after he bought a hybrid car. The weather was the best it had been all year, and rollin’ with the top down was an invigorating reminder of how great things have gotten. Then, after a couple of days of hearing a popping sound, a small piece broke […]

Before the Bucket List
The journey didn’t start with the list. It started with a hangover. It was the day after my 22nd birthday and the primary gifts I received for that one were a cookie cake, a few failures, and a dash of embarrassment. We’ve all been there. This time it was different. Everything aligned in just the […]
