I am back from Mexico, revived, refreshed, and ready to go!
It was a great trip with some of my favorite people. I am grateful for friends who were willing to travel with me to celebrate my birthday.
I mean, look at us…
This may be a little overzealous or even cliché, but I’m going for it. My 50th birthday is on Friday, and before I head out of town to celebrate, I just wanted to write because, well, I’m a writer, and that, right there, is where I am going to start these random thoughts that have been swimming in my head.
It’s been two weeks since I did a goal check-in, so I’m looking forward to revisiting them. It helps ground me like nothing else does, especially during the summer when I’m all over the place.
I am simply popping in tonight to keep up my weekly blogging streak. I have not missed a week since January 2025, and I don’t want to give up on it now. So here I am!
It’s been a crazy week that kicked off with our air conditioning bombing during the latest heat wave.
The first website I published was in grad school in the late ’90s.
Yes, I am that old.
My first personal site was launched in 2005 when I created a family website to blog about my first pregnancy. That site snowballed into a weight-loss blog with a recipe-site spinoff, a yearly conference I hosted for bloggers, and even a small travel blog I managed with a friend.
