Day 29: Tinkering My Way Back Alive Day 29: Some things are finally getting easier. Others? Still feel like dragging bricks through mud. (And not the cute Pinterest kind of bricks—the heavy, metaphorical ones no one wants to decorate with.) It’s a strange paradox—how momentum can build in one area while another still feels stuck….

Day 28: Doing it even if it distracts me Day 28: I wasn’t planning to walk today. I told myself this week was about rest—resetting my supplements, staying low-key, letting my body catch up. But this morning? I actually felt good. Got the kids to school, came home, and the air felt walkable. My body…

Day 27: Supporting the Body That Carries the Dream Day 27: I didn’t get dressed today—and for once, I didn’t feel bad about it. Recovering from a cold comes with that strange kind of permission to let the expectations go. But the truth is, even when I’m not sick, I’ve been avoiding getting dressed “nicely”…

Day 26: Sensitive Systems & the Weight of Normal Day 26: The slide never starts all at once. It’s little things. A few missed supplements. A couple skipped meals. One workout you force instead of flow through. And then, all of a sudden… you don’t feel like yourself. Kind of like how socks disappear in…

Day 25: The Cheese Chips Rebellion Day 25: Some days feel like a slow unraveling. Not loud or dramatic—more like a sweater snagged on a doorknob, pulling one thread at a time until suddenly half your sleeve is gone. Today was one of those days. The kind where I forget what I’ve already forgotten… and…

Day 24: Black Cats, Blank Slates, and a Brunch Kind of Magic Day 24: Today was a good one. My mom came into Dallas for an appointment, so we grabbed brunch and wandered through an antique mall afterward. I didn’t buy a single thing—and for me, that’s a small miracle. (Somebody call Guinness, because that’s…

Day 23: The Weight of the Middle Day 23: Today was rough. No punchline, no poetic metaphor—just hard. The kind of day where even my coffee looked at me and said, “good luck, girl.” My marriage is in a tender place right now. We were separated for six months last year. After nearly twenty years…

Day 22: The Spark vs. The System Day 22: I’ve been waking up lighter these past few days. Waking up and not hating life feels like a minor miracle. But instead of riding that wave into structure, I keep diving straight into the fun. The second my eyes open, I want to decorate. I want…

Day 21: Habits Aren’t Magic Day 21: It’s Day 21. The magical moment where it’s all supposed to click into place. At least that’s what we’ve been told, right? “It takes 21 days to build a habit.” I call bullshit. If 21 days was really all it took, I’d have abs, a published book, and…

Day 20: The Myth of Effortless Day 20: Today was the first day I put jeans on in almost four months. I tried once over the summer—but they were so far from fitting that I just quietly boxed them all up. Basically, they’ve been sitting in denim purgatory ever since. It felt less like storage…
