So I just kept…

Read more: What I Am Reading 6/6/25I have my mojo back, and I’m reading again. It seriously bummed me out that I just fell flat last month.

What I Am Reading 5/30/25
Read more: What I Am Reading 5/30/25It’s been a hot second and alas, I have not been reading much. I thought I’d gotten out of a depression episode.

Read more: What I Am Reading 5/9/25After a busy April, I thought May would be easier. I was wrong, and I’m still struggling with reading. It’s fine.

Read more: What I Am Reading 4/11/25I didn’t realize how nervous I was for my race last weekend until things got really hard. And yes, that included reading.

What I Am Reading 3/28/25
Read more: What I Am Reading 3/28/25My brain has been on a pro bono project lately, and it’s where I’ve let my creativity fly.

What I Am Reading 3/21/25
Read more: What I Am Reading 3/21/25I ran a half marathon last weekend! And then collapsed in bed. I definitely got out of the reading routine, but I then I worked hard on my comeback.
