I think this is helpful because there are so many great options that I don’t normally see on other lists, including some clean packaged items. I thought about including recipes, but that’s just not the way that I cook.

Dealing With Life After Your Business Ends
Dealing With Life After Your Business Ends

Sometimes it’s trying to figure out what comes next. Or deciding if there is even a next. Cloaked with equal parts fear and trauma, trying to relearn one’s identity after the end of a business is not something that ends up being discussed often.

Old Sheets and Thoughts

While overall I feel in a great space these days, I know there was still some residual things hanging out in my mind. Now that I've said goodbye to over a decade of sleeps, thoughts, and tears in this duvet, I'm ready to let them go.

Yoga (And Life) Is About Progress, Not Perfection

One of the great things about yoga (and this instructor) is that everyone is at a different level. In each posture, you can go a little further or you can stay where you are.
