December 2022

The last month of the year! December has been super busy, but it's also been nice having something to look forward to. There's been death, and soon, there will be new life - so there has been a lot of perspective changes this month. There also appears to be a lot of napping, resting, and [...]

October 2022

What a busy month. October has been work work work, so having some relaxing chill time has been amazing. Having a dog has also really helped me stay present and in the moment.
