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…

Day 19: Is the Bare Minimum Still a Win? Day 19: Still here. Still writing. Even in my bathrobe. Today was another bare minimum day. And honestly? I’m starting to get tired of that being the answer. If this were a movie, today would be the quiet scene where the main character eats toast over…
