So one of my classes for this spring semester is called Learning & Behavioral Change and, surprise, it involves a behavioral change project! Our professor wants us to essentially use the skills we learn in class to develop a new habit/break a bad habit. And of course a bunch of his examples are like, weight […]
The last 7 days have been extraordinarily … what’s a word for difficult that encompasses the emotional drain, the serious and unanswerable questions, the sheer exhaustion of your brain, your body, your life not stopping or slowing down for you despite your desperate desire to just be able to stop and be silent and thoughtless […]
A little more burst of creativity today! Had to honor me and my amazing husband who is literally my rock and my best friend and keeps getting more and more amazing the longer we’re together. With some Fall Out Boy lyrics of course! This is one of the songs I got him obsessed with, too.
After starting out the month very creatively dry, I am working on redefining my art goals for the year. I’m not promising they’re gonna grasp my attention all that much, but it feels good to try some new things. After taking a diversity class that made me question my depiction of people of color in […]

I have a week left in my first semester at Saint Thomas after tomorrow. We also got a new kitten in our family – I got bored and fixated on wanting a baby and we needed to do something to help abate that. So we found her at Petsmart and she is perfect for us, […]
