    Why I’m glad I dislocated my shoulder for the 15th time

    February 27, 2018 /

    Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. Last October, I was taking an aerial yoga class when I dislocated my shoulder for the 15th time. Picture this: I was lying on the floor with my butt in the air and my thighs floating in one of those silk things. My back and shoulders were on the floor and, as the yoga teacher tried to help me reposition for the next pose, POP! Out went my shoulder, and the class was over for me. It wasn’t the yoga teacher’s fault, though. My shoulder has been dislocating roughly once a year since I turned 18 years old. In fact, my first shoulder dislocation…

    How this night owl is going to attempt to become a morning lark

    February 20, 2018 /

    Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. I spent a good amount of time last night researching ways to become a morning lark instead of the night owl I naturally am. And today, despite going to bed later than I planned to, I am up again at 6 am, trying to form a habit that I hope will stick in the long run. We shall see. When it comes to being a night owl, which is what I have always considered myself to be, I don’t know if that’s actually true.

    I’m about to turn 30…

    February 22, 2016 /

    Please subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. In the past few months, and I couldn’t tell you if this is coincidence or some weird algorithm or simply because I am more aware of it, my Facebook feed has been full of “hey you’re turning 30!” articles. And it’s true. I am turning 30. In exactly a month, to be precise. To be honest, I am not yet sure how I feel about the whole thing. At times I feel like the it is kind of silly. All of the pressure that we face, as women and as human beings in general, to have checked off certain life milestones…
