If you’ve been following my posts the last few days, you know that I recently celebrated—yes, celebrated—50 years since graduating high school. There is a unique kind of comfort in walking into a room full of people who remember the exact same teachers, the exact same local hangouts, and the exact same songs of your youth. Seriously, I never realized just how 1970s music played … Continue reading 50

What would I tell that young, sharp-looking 18-year-old—fresh out of high school, packed up, … Continue reading LETTER TO MY 18 YEAR OLD SELF
I love being busy. It’s invigorating, and I get so much joy out of being involved in so many different things. As a “people person,” I truly thrive when I’m surrounded by others.
