Welcome to the blog!

Everything you’re about to read is based on my own experience. It may be a personal take on something, a way to cope, or a helpful anecdote. Read on and let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to write about.

Sometimes things come our way that we just weren’t prepared for. I invite you to now sit back, maybe grab a drink, and enjoy the story of Magnus.

It’s not about you…

Gratitude. It’s something I try to practice every day. Even when life sucks, we can always find at least one thing to be grateful for, right? Maybe gratitude looks differently on different people, and that’s ok, but being grateful for what we have and instead of upset over what we don’t is the key here.

Antici………….. pation

Yesterday I was waiting on pins and needles all day. I knew there was a package coming with copies of my book and I couldn’t sit still. I knew that pacing the apartment and constantly checking the tracking on UPS wasn’t going to make the package get here any quicker, but I’ve had so many issues with deliveries the last few months that I was terrified something would happen. I had this vision of the box filled with my books just being driven away, never to be seen again. I desperately attempted to distract myself with other things throughout the day, but I am the least patient person on the planet. I can’t wait for anything if I know it’s going to make me happy. I basically don’t have an ounce of Burr in me. I’m all Hamilton… full steam ahead all the time.

Like almost everyone I know, this past week has been a bit crazy. I didn’t think it was possible to cry from frustration, sadness, fear, joy, and relief all in one week. My election anxiety has been so high over the last month, that I already hadn’t been sleeping well. Then the results were delayed as every single one was counted (GOOD!) and I didn’t want to be blindsided, so I was glued to the television all week… only taking small naps here and there. Lack of sleep is never a good thing for me. It was affecting my work which resulted in me crying twice in one day because of emails I received. I wasn’t getting yelled at, but I was simply so sleep-deprived that it was making me over emotional.

Starting over fresh, but not entirely new

Welcome to the new blog! With the book out (psst… check out the book page), I figured it was time to make the blog a little more professional. Don’t worry, though, I’ll still be sharing the same content as before… just new and shiny. All previously written blog posts have been imported so if there’s something you’re looking for, it will be here.
