Weekly Roundup: May 27, 2022
It’s been a heavy week. I keep waking up in the morning with this icky feeling that I’ve realized is grief. I’ve had to limit time on social media and news websites because it’s just too much. I’m holding out some hope that the United States can make some changes, while also contemplating moving to — Read More

This is a particularly happy Friday for me! I did my last training run in preparation for the Boston Marathon on Monday. This training cycle was quite the journey, physically and emotionally.

Happy Friday! Let’s get right to it. Quote of the week:“Everyone writes in a way; that is, each person has a ‘story,’ a personal narrative which is constantly being replayed, revised, taken apart, and put together again.
