discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
I've been thinking about this phrase lately. Cherry-picking. It's usually said in a negative connotation. At least, that's been my experience. Growing up, I was told to not "cherry-pick" the advice or instruction I was given. I wasn't supposed to be "picky" with anything in life. I was to be "grateful." Blah, blah, blah. You …
I was thinking about my last post & how I've been trying to make my peace with the fact that it's okay to stick with what works. There might be something bigger & better out there but it's not worth the time, energy, or drama to try to figure it out. To piggyback on that …
I'm not sure if it's because I'm American or how I was raised or how my mind works or whatever, but there is this "what if" inside of me when it comes to products. Let me explain.What if this shampoo is alright but there's a better one out there for my hair? What if this …
I realized something the other day when I spoke to Dr. H - I don't drink as much as I used to. It wasn't ever like I craved alcohol or that I was addicted by any means. It was more of a "drink until you can't hear those thoughts & feel those feelings anymore." I …
This morning, I quasi-rejoined my temple's minyan morning service. I say "quasi" since my rabbi had recorded & uploaded a service for those who wouldn't be able to attend in the mornings. He's incredibly considerate like that. 🙂 Morning prayers start at 0800 which is when I start work so you can see why I …
So I've kinda gone through some friendship shit lately. People who claim they love you then tell you they no longer do. People who say they're always there but haven't talked to you in months. You know the type. A few of these have ran & jumped off the ship lately. It's interesting because I'm …
I love ocean creatures. Puffins, jellyfish, baby squid, sea turtles - Ahh! Makes my heart go a-flutter. I love listening to water sounds or watching something like Blue Planet or Big Pacific to fall asleep. It's so fascinating yet relaxing. I mean, I also love watching autopsies & human anatomy stuff but that'll keep me …
Well hello there https://media.giphy.com/media/1AitiVkJFu5Qcimpt8/giphy-downsized-large.gif Ugh, what a QUEEN! As you know, work has been insane. By the time I log off, I'm completely spent & utterly exhausted. Some times I have to nap over lunch & after work just to make it through the evening. It's not that the work itself is difficult. There's just …

My apologies for the radio silence. I've been chewing on this post for a few weeks. I didn't realize it was so difficult for me to get out. Thank you for your patience & understanding.I had a scary thought. I realized in about a month, I will have been graduated from high school for 20 …
