Almost 40 and still eating grapefruit like a T-rex.
Sticky hands. No phone. Full presence.

Also: check your grocery store’s zero-waste bins.
I find citrus there all the time. Cheaper, less food waste, unexpected joy 🍊

Mindfulness doesn’t have to be elegant.

Merry Christmas Eve, Eve.
In a world of corporate nonsense, this silly Mint Mobile holiday card actually made me smile.
We love small joys where we can get them. Tammy Reynolds for the win.

Noticing small things on a walk and deciding they’re adorable feels like a very underrated life skill 🍂
(These leaves absolutely have personalities.)

🎤 Showed up with big Monday energy and some very unpolished vocals.
Because joy > pitch. And showing up > perfection.
Now excuse me while I break into some 80s classics like it’s my job. 😎

Woke up real sad and really missing people, so I did what anyone would do:

I fake-called the entire internet to sing to them.

If you're lonely today, you're not alone.

I love you. Really.
