First commute
I stayed home on Monday and rested after having side effects that did not allow me adequate rest. So I tested the bike on a short ride.

Quick Update and A Prompt
I didn’t find anything to write the last couple of days, and I didn’t want to force anything out. So, I took the time to reflect the last couple of days. Work is going well.

Catching Up
I skipped yesterday as a sign of respect on Memorial Day. Anything I would’ve posted didn’t sound appropriate. The men and women who gave their all so I could live a life of privilege have my sincerest thanks and deepest respect.

Sabbath Day
I stayed home from church with a bad allergy attack. On my mind, today was how I can draw closer to Christ in my life that isn’t a cliché answer. What came to my mind was being consistent. Consistent in my thoughts, words, and actions. What that looks like in the realm of my spiritualContinue reading “Sabbath Day”
Denim Day
Today is a day when we raise awareness for sexual violence and survivors and ending misconceptions around sexual violence. No one ever asks to be violated in that way. No matter how you dress, act, how and where you spend your time, your body should be sacrosanct. No is a complete sentence.
