The “Terwin” anniversary is here. We would have celebrated 6 years. I miss being married, even the arguments after long bike rides. September 2 also marked 29 months since Teri passed. Life looks very different now: training, teaching yoga, full days that keep me moving forward. But I still think of her daily. Grief and joy live side by side, and my hope in sharing this story is to remind you that even in loss, God is still at work. Related Podcast Link: https://youtu.

It’s been almost two months since my last post. Just like the state of my guest bedroom., time for another messy one... In this update I share about grief, ADHD, unfinished drafts, and launching Muir Rock Yoga & Fitness in my garage. Healing takes ownership and compassion, doing hard things, one step at a time. Terwin's favorite verse (Joshua 1:9) reminds me I’m not alone. Growth starts small, but showing up is always the win. Related Podcast Episode: https://youtu.be/

“The mountains are calling and I must go.” – John Muir (also on one of Teri’s favorite shirts) After visiting Muir Rock for the first time since 2017, I reflect on grief, slowing down, finding balance, and finding meaning in unexpected places.

Feeling tired lately. After a full May, I’ve been slowing down, simplifying, and sitting with some harder questions. A friend asked what I’m looking forward to, and I didn’t have an answer. Maybe this season is about recovery. Letting go of old stuff. Making space to listen. To myself, to others, to God. June gloom isn’t just the weather right now. It’s where I am. And maybe that’s okay.

It’s been 26 months since Teri passed, and I’m learning that doing hard things isn’t always about pushing through and doing more. It’s about slowing down, letting go, and being honest. In this post, I reflect on grief, a quiet moment with my mom from our wedding (because of Mother's day), and how rest can be its own kind of courage. This is where I am now, and maybe you can relate too.

My therapist is right again... What's going on with me these days and why do I do crazy things like accidentally schedule two races on the same weekend and just deal with It? I want to be seen. And that's also why I'm back to writing here on a Sunday afternoon. This is way of having my own therapy session without having to pay for it. Oh well.
