Thursday Things 08.13.15

Hi! A LOT of things have happened since last week… I packed up my Minneapolis life in a U-Haul, road tripped to Denver with my mom, moved into a garden level Washington Park duplex with one of my best friends, and broke my wrist. Life is very different than it was one week ago today, but I am excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

Excited about these things too:

  • All of these galettes sound amazing: heirloom tomato, zucchini, caramelized onion, and feta galette, heirloom tomato galette, tomato and plum galette, plum galette, and vegan peach galette with coconut pastry.
  • Let’s be super French and learn how to make crepes and macarons.
  • An important life lesson: how to open a bottle of wine.
  • Some more life lessons: makeup hacks.
  • Things don’t always go your way (example: breaking your wrist two days after moving to a new city), but here are 18 excellent reminders to keep you moving forward.

My blog posts may be less frequent than normal over the next few weeks, because I still need to get Internet in my new place, learn how to bake in altitude, and be able to fully utilize both hands again.

Happy Thursday!

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
