So Moving is a Big Thing
In my entire young adult life I have done nothing but travel, live out my car and sublet other people’s homes. One of the things about going to school is that it’s very helpful to have a place to live for the duration of your school term. It has something to do with the necessity…

On Writing Thank You Notes
Every post-holiday or birthday season, it was inevitable. The nagging. “Have you written a thank you note to your grandmother yet?” my dad would randomly shoot at me from across the dinner table. “Ugh.

Normal Blogpost About Walking Interrupted to Talk about Brené Brown
I was intending to write about this stellar walk that I took last week, but I go to attend Brené Brown’s book promotion talk at CU Boulder tonight, and I think it would be better to give a brief synopsis. For those who do not know, you should immediately watch THIS video. Brené Brown’s work is…

A few weeks ago I was hanging out in my sister’s graduate student office, looking at a poster of the various placements of vowels in the voice box. My sister is a graduate student of opera performance, and as such it is important for her to know the various ways in which the voice box…
