While I have you behind the scenes, why not continue the tour, no? So much for a segue… After I graduated nutrition grad school, I spent a decent amount of time not only describing the role of a registered dietitian, but also explaining how my grad school, Teachers College, offered a master’s in nutrition. Yes, … Continue reading Post-Divorce: A Behind-the-Scenes View

Another Gift Mitch Hedberg Gave Us
Earlier this week, I did a Mitch Hedberg cover stand-up comedy performance. As I said in my previous post, I watched him early on in my journey of doing stand-up comedy nine years ago. A friend told me I sounded like him. I checked him out. Around that time a different friend told me I’d … Continue reading Another Gift Mitch Hedberg Gave Us
Stumbling Through
I wake up everyday with this sort of amnesia. Thoughts running through my mind. To-do lists draped across my heart. I am bewildered, beset by concerns. It’s not as if I have conquered my previous 35 years of life’s challenges-—some minor, some more severe. That track record is nowhere to be found. And so, every … Continue reading Stumbling Through
The Riches of Childhood
I often think back to my childhood and miss how nurturing it was, how safe I felt. In comparison to how daunting adulthood can be—when all the responsibilities lie on us. I miss the house, not only cuz it was safe and full of love, but because it was substantially bigger than what I can … Continue reading The Riches of Childhood

Part of a Movement
I used to see my ideas as my own. Inspired by a spiritual realm—but my own, coming to me alone. Now I see how others in my inner and outer circle are going through a journey similar to mine. It makes me feel less like I am promoting my ego when I do something—like a … Continue reading Part of a Movement
Twists and Turns and Staying with Truth
Last night I went to a stand up open-mic to do stand up comedy for the first time since 2014 (which was the year I did stand up ;)). I had all my notes prepped. My hubby and I ended up getting there an hour earlier than when one signs up for the stand up … Continue reading Twists and Turns and Staying with Truth

Chasing Our Tails
Recently I took my daughter to the dentist. On the way back, when I got on the highway, I realized it was the same entrance ramp I get on and off of every day when I go to work (I had just come from the opposite direction). I think that going to the dentist with … Continue reading Chasing Our Tails
