Musings Each day since the school shooting in Uvalde, TX, feels so heavy, my movements slowed down like I’m wading through mud. What should take two minutes takes twenty. It’s getting harder and harder to compartmentalize, put a smile on, and go about life. This year alone we’ve had to watch a war in Ukraine,…

Daydreamer Diaries: Apr 2022
Musings I just got back from spending 3 days dancing in the desert with my friends, so I’m feeling super grateful. We bought tickets to Coachella in 2019 when life looked a lot different for all of us. To finally make it there after all this time was extra special–it’s a weekend I never want…
Daydreamer Diaries: Mar 2022
Musings This month marked another year around the sun. I definitely see aging as a privilege– it’s something I never take for granted. I spent time with family on my actual birthday, time with the best of friends (and many margaritas) the following day, and then treated myself to a solo staycation in Chicago a…
Daydreamer Diaries: Feb 2022
Musings On the day Russia launched a full-scale invasion on Ukraine, I was on a flight to the Bahamas with my best friend.

Daydreamer Diaries: 4/9/21
Musings Well, somehow 6 months went by without me sharing one of these! It feels like I’ve made it through my first official winter back in Chicago–last year I was gone traveling for most of it. But now we’ve gotten a few random days of beautiful weather and trees are starting to blossom and it…
Daydreamer Diaries: 10/13/20
Musings With less than a month until election day and with everything that’s happened in the past 4 years, I spend a lot of my current free time hoping that Americans do the right thing on November 3rd. So many lives are at risk if Trump stays in office. Vote early if you can! In…
Daydreamer Diaries: 8/24/20
It’s been a while since I’ve shared one of these because it feels like nothing’s happened due to COVID restrictions. Yet, life always goes on and a lot has happened (I could go on a rant but I won’t). I’ll just say wear a mask and vote Trump out of office 🙂 Laughs Laughter truly is…
