Currently // June 2019
My friend Anne from In Residence hosts this fun monthly link-up, and in efforts to get back into the rhythm of more regular blogging, I’m jumping back in this month!
Here’s a peek at what life looks like currently:
PICKING // all the homegrown veggies — it’s been so fun to see what new treasures await when I get home from work each day. So far, I’ve had lots of grape tomatoes, 3 heirloom tomatoes, 4 jalapeños, and one beautiful purple pepper. BIG FAN.
GOING // to counseling weekly, still. (I wish I had a more fun answer for this one, like that I was going on an exotic vacation or something…) it’s the best, hardest, most life-giving, most challenging, most rewarding thing I do. i’m grateful for it. i’m growing through it and because of it. it will never not be worth it.
WISHING // for all the time to read. who invented full-time jobs, anyway?! GIRL HAS BOOKS TO READ, OKAY?! (ps — I made you a summer reading guide!)
WEARING // kimonos ALL the time (perfect summer layer, especially for freezing offices but hot and humid outdoors). A few recent favorites: this simple one, this floral one, and this beachy-feeling one.
CELEBRATING // nine years being veg! shared 9 things I love about being vegan on instagram — the #1 being the fact that nothing I put in or on my body requires the death of living, breathing creatures. that matters SO MUCH to me. here are a few blog posts for more reading (if you’re curious or interested!): how and why i’m both vegan + gluten-free // my favorite vegan + gf resources // celebrating 7 meat-free years! // a guide to richmond’s best gluten free and vegan eats
To join the next link-up, share what you're currently reading, enjoying, finding, tasting, and saving on July 3!
When you ask what life looks like currently, I can’t talk about anything except the fight for justice and peace in response to current events and the horrible and gut-wrenching deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many others. Today’s post and prompts (hosted by my friend Anne!) centers on these conversations, this heart, and content by and from BIPOC friends and leaders and neighbors.
