Updates and More
I keep jumping on, writing a post, intending to get back at blogging daily but then I don’t. I can’t really figure out why this keeps happening. I started out the year strong, but got distracted for some unknown reason. Maybe it’s just that I got really busy with kid sports and life. Maybe I…

Shaking off the dust
It’s time for me to get back to regular writing. I do miss it, but it’s been hard to get my head back into normal routine lately. I don’t really understand why I am struggling so much with writing consistently these last few months, other than working through some pretty old trauma that hurts a…

So annoyed
I had a meeting with my fellow lacrosse coaches for Girl’s team. I played lacrosse way back in the day and I love coaching her team and the little girls’ team too. I played goalie and now I’ll be working with middle school goalies too. I am really excited about that, actually. I generally like…

Daily Prompt 1/25/24
I enjoy not doing much of anything sometimes. I enjoy letting my mind wander and seeing what I think about when there’s no pressure to think about anything in particular. I like letting my mind find interesting connections and ideas. My brain craves these moments of letting it wander almost every day or it won’t…

Dreams become reality…maybe
Today I got the email that I made it to the first round of interviews for that camp job I was interested in. It’s literally one week this summer, but I really REALLY want this. It was one of those video interviews where it asks a question and then you get 60 seconds to formulate…
