This afternoon, in Sunday DBT group, we were asked again to close our eyes and go to "our happy place." For the past however many weeks, I have ended up at the exact same place.

fried endorian yip tip: another review/probably a thinly veiled cry-for-help
Okay, yeah, I'm in Orlando right now. (Yeah, I know.) Look, this year has been unrepentant trash, so my best friend and I had a collective pixie dust-fueled anxiety attack and headed South.

We are exhausted and sunburned … Continue reading fried endorian yip tip: another review/probably a thinly veiled cry-for-help
i have often dreamed…
So, runDisney is officially moving the 2021 Walt Disney World Marathon to a virtual event, which, yeah, is the correct choice. And I have the option to get my money back and all good things.

Hey, remember that time I was supposed to be training for my first marathon? Yeah. So, here's the thing: I'm still sad.

But I am better. … Continue reading these are your first steps (again)

And when we’re brave enough to listen, and bold enough to pursue, that dream will lead us on a journey to discover … Continue reading in which that fireworks show GOT ME AGAIN
i ran a half-marathon: the fireworks spectacular epilogue
My parents took me to Disney World for the first time when I was just shy of two years old. My favorite story from that trip is of when they bought a popcorn for us to "share." Yeah, right. I beckoned for the popcorn box, and, "Oh, how cute," my parents must have thought. The … Continue reading i ran a half-marathon: the fireworks spectacular epilogue
free time stresses me out, or how i learned to stop worrying & ride the movies

I hail from a family of theme park people. If given the opportunity to spend a week in any place on the planet, I feel confident that my clan and I would still end up in Orlando every single time. My dad worked in the amusement park business when my little brother and I were … Continue reading free time stresses me out, or how i learned to stop worrying & ride the movies
