One more throwback post from 2018 and this one is of my face... Actually, two of my faces. Taken almost exactly ten years apart. 🙌

You hear it all the time, but there are some moments when it just punches you in the gut with its truthiness (Colbert fans, raise your hands 🙋🏻‍♀️)

Sometimes I just need some mindless distraction. Something silly and repetitive to keep my brain occupied so it doesn’t spin out of control. Lately, that silly thing is a farming game on my phone. It has no point and it’s not important and I fully recogn… https://t.co/9nIE1NvYeD

I got a really heartfelt request to letter this phrase - from a follower who lost her friend to suicide and wants to always remember her. I think this phrase was important to her friend. And I think it’s pretty important too. I can’t pretend to know what… https://t.co/ybfRKqlsM3

If you’re on my email list, you’ve witnessed this first hand, but I’ve been fucking up a lot lately. 😂 Not in any big ways, but in lots of little details. Like broken hyperlinks and incorrect dates...stuff that the corporate lawyer in me usually exce… https://t.co/Ve6L7Qauep

I’ve been seeing this phrase go around on Instagram lately and it really made me stop and feel something. 💓 Why do we always focus on what’s left on our to-do list instead of celebrating what we’ve checked off? Why are we always finding new people to… https://t.co/o9S94Awgfi

I turned 37 yesterday (wootwoot!🎉) and it made me think about how unexpected life is. I used to think that by this age, I’d be married and living in the suburbs 🏠, driving my two kids 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 to piano recitals and working as a lawyer in some comp… https://t.co/iJuY7BL3X6
