Figuring shit out.
The other day I was attempting to cook (this is the first problem) on cast iron which I adore but have not mastered and my house filled with smoke. I was trying to make something special for F because he just finished some giant work project and food is his love language so we cracked…
I think most of us knew this day would come sooner than later but somehow it didn't lessen the blow. When I heard the news, I cried. Partially because i'm starting to feel nervous about what's happening in our country with the extreme political divide and unrest. It feels scary and uncertain to lose someone…
I don't need to tell any of you that 2020 can eat a giant bag of donkey dongs. It's been a pretty terrible year so far with the plague, earthquakes in Utah, the fires all over the west, schools being closed, loved ones getting sick, isolation, depression, anxiety, and as of last week hurricane winds…

Hey everyone! This week we're back with another episode of You're Gonna Be Great! My mini-podcast series for the COVID-19 era. My goal was 6-7 episodes and I'm almost there. On one hand, I'm sad to see it coming to an end, but on the other hand, I'm really proud of myself for doing something…
