Arbitrary Madness. Artistic Exploration. Dope Things.
My job is into wellness, which is pretty cool because so am I. They reward employees for meeting physical and mental health goals, and even host workshops on random well-ness related topics. I’ve attended just two workshops, but I shit you not, both have quite literally changed my life. The first one taught me the merits of quinoa, kale, andContinue Reading “You better move.”
Happy Tuesday! In case anyone was wondering, I finally got some plants in the ground. Yes – a row of spinach and a row of cabbage! I am geeked beyond explanation and I just want to take this moment to thank my ninjas, without whom this wouldn’t be possible. For those used to disappointment (myself),Continue Reading “Garden on fleek.”
I’m in awe of the way life sends you a message and then adds steel reinforcements. I took a class on productivity and I had to really digest the idea of rewarding myself for completing little tasks. I was listing out everything I’d need to do to complete my gardening project, and then she wasContinue Reading “Treat yo self.”
Some people just prefer the abbreviated version. These are the people you write TL;DR at the bottom of lengthy emails for. These are the people who say, “What’s Goodreads?” or who set their reading challenge goals really, really low. These are the people who read The Skimm and then skip to the skimmed down part of theContinue Reading “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.”
Have you heard Jidenna’s song “Bambi”? It’s one of those songs you have to listen to a few times before you really appreciate it. At first you’re like “WTF?” and then you’re crooning like an old school playa from the himalayas. But I digress. I was listening to this song for the bazillionth time todayContinue Reading “Bambi.”
My favorite bit of advice to give people is “you can’t do everything.” Unfortunately, there’s also an accurate saying that goes, “those that can’t do teach.” Knowing this, you should “do as I say and not as I do.” Even though I try to be all things at all times, realistically, you’ve got to prioritizeContinue Reading “Wonder woman.”
I’m just sitting here trying to think about what to write, but I’m totally distracted. I’m with my dad and he’s watching the game and drinking which means he’s more hype than a five year old at Chuck E. Cheese’s. He’s either geeked or totally displeased, there’s no in between. And the talking is nonstop.Continue Reading “Hype.”
I have a friend who always feels bad when she’s “being such a bitch.” If you’re like her, I want you to open yourself up to receive this message: being nice is fucking hard. Being a bitch or an asshole means letting how you feel just roll off the tongue. Being nice is exercising the self-controlContinue Reading “Be a bitch.”
What would you do with a million dollars? Have you really thought about it? Don’t worry, this isn’t a sales pitch, I’m just thinking. My thoughts used to end at “bomb ass house and a couple vacations,” but today I decided I’d do the same I would do in the event of the zombie apocalypse,Continue Reading “If I had a million dollars.”
This manifesto is a work in progress as am I. There are certain things that I know to be true, at least for now. First, I believe in a higher power. I haven’t determined whether that is God or the Universe, but most of my teachers haven’t decided one way or the other, so whyContinue Reading “My seven truths (sat nam).”
