There is a specific kind of exhaustion that seeps into your bones, where your to-do list has turned into a Choose Your Own Adventure—but every ending is "crash on the couch and eat cold leftovers straight from the container." This week, I have been functioning. I do not mean thriving, flourishing, or leaning into joy.… Continue reading Too Tired to Care, Too Stubborn to Quit: Notes from the Edge of Burnout

Take pause and give strength
My blog, From Here to Me, is really just a journal where I keep my thoughts and experiences as I go through this journey called life. I have made a lot of changes over the past year and a half, I have failed at some goals, and far exceeded my expectations for others. When I… Continue reading Take pause and give strength

Altruism and Grace
I am going to forego my running updates (well at least in part, I will mention it in the end), to discuss giving and forgiving.
