Hello again.
It has been a minute. Or several years. But who is counting?
This blog, this space I carved out more than a decade ago, started during a time when I was running. Literally running. Training, sweating, chasing personal records, and using miles to make sense of life. Back then, “From Here to Me” was about forward motion. Momentum. Now? It still is… just with a different kind of stride.
Since the last time I posted, life has been doing what life does best: surprising me, humbling me, occasionally flipping me off, and forcing me to re-route more than once.
Let us catch up:
- I wrecked my knee in 2018 and had it replaced in 2023. Spoiler alert: that changed everything.
- I went back to school in 2016 and graduated in 2021, smack in the middle of a global pandemic. Because I like a challenge.
- I changed jobs (twice), moved back to New Jersey, adopted a few more rescue animals (because of course I did), and started traveling again.
- I have worried about the state of the world more than I ever thought possible, and still found beauty in it, somehow.
- I stopped running, but I did not stop moving. I just… learned to move differently.
So here we are.
This is not a running blog anymore. It is a resilience blog. A life-in-progress blog. A place to talk about the messy, meaningful middle part, where knees get replaced, beliefs get challenged, food gets de-glutened, and travel becomes a love letter to yourself.
Here is what you can expect now:
- Posts about movement with a mechanical knee, not marathons
- Thoughts on gluten-free life, travel, and self-care
- Musings on aging, healing, and staying soft without going silent
- The occasional quote that makes you laugh-snort or cry a little
- Honest stories from a woman who is too tired to care but too stubborn to quit
If you are figuring out how to be softer in a world that feels hard, how to move even when it hurts, how to care without burning out—pull up a chair. You belong here.
I am not the same person who started this blog. That is the point. I have changed, and that is the story.
Welcome back. Or welcome in. Either way, I am glad you are here.
From Here to Me
