The World Cup is in the US!!! The World Cup is in Philadelphia!!! I’ve never been so close. While I don’t have tickets to any game (too rich for my blood) I still wanted to participate. The city is putting on a FREE Fan Festival for people to watch the games together. I wanted to go, but I was nervous. Is it going to be super crowded? How will I get there? How will I get home? So many rules to follow. It was a bit overwhelming. I wanted to go but I was easily getting discouraged.
Well, well, well. I guess it was time. I’ve seen The Woobles on SharkTank and every ad imaginable on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. I was always interested in trying it, but just hadn’t gotten around to it. I recently had 2 friends who bought them and I heard nothing but good reviews, so I decided […]
In this game, as in life, you have to be flexible. Every day demands something different from you, and if you “play” the same way each time, you may not be finding success, because the situation has changed and different tactics are required.

Every year I come up with some sort of challenge for myself. This is my way to always push myself to try new things or try the same thing differently. Past challenges have included: Wearing everything I own, decluttering, trying a movie/tv show I didn’t think I would like, listening to a genre of music […]
I was on a podcast y’all!!!
I’ve never been one to do a YouTube video or podcast. Videos just seem so extra, having to do your hair and makeup for every recording. And radio, I just think I have been self-conscious of my radio voice. It’s always been a tiny fear of mine. . . Adam and his friend, Reuben, have this podcast, Guys Who Cry, and they talk about everyday topics, but with a safe emotional space attached. Pretty much fighting the stereotype that straight men can’t be connected to their emotions. I can dig it . . . Read More
Well, I did it. I went camping. Like, slept-in-a-tent-outside-in-the-woods camping. I might have done that once when I was 8 or so at camp, but never as an adult. Friends have mentioned or invited me camping before, but when you’ve never done it, it sounds so daunting and scary. So, this is for all those people who are thinking about it, in excruciating detail, so that you can be super chill and say yes to your experienced camping friends. Embedded with tales of my trip, sit back and relax . . . Read More
So I began thinking of my post from 2018, No New Friends. If you know me in real life, even the title is ironic. When I wrote the post, I was tired of fake friends, shallow friendships, and putting energy into new friends or people of interest, that would flake or ghost, or just be disingenuous. . . . Read More
So here we are, at the start of a new year (let’t not talk decades just because it ends in a 0; unnecessary added pressure). And maybe you want to start your new year’s resolutions. Maybe you “don’t make resolutions” or maybe you do it later – I usually review life goals around Lent. At some point in your life (I hope), you are making your own personal goals.
