A few weeks ago, I shared my first of two goals for fall and am happy to report that progress has been made. Last night, I fell asleep at 9:40pm, which is something of a record around here. (Of course, this girl woke us up at 5am, but hey – external forces beyond my control

Holes & Imperfections
I’ve been dropping the ball at work a bit lately, sending emails riddled with typos, missing self-imposed deadlines, feeling all sorts of stress and frenzy and anxiety.

Anyway, my beautiful e-friend Katie (and founder of Puj!) is expecting

On Over-Thinking

Even more surprising, of course, were the incredible bits of life wisdom she found nestled into her practice. And although she shared some amazing insights, one in particular
