I quit my corporate job to focus on autumn. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today is my birthday and all I can think about is how vastly different everything feels going into this new year. After eight years in corporate America, and seventeen years in the working world, I quit.Okay, so I’m not exactly quitting to focus on autumn, but the sentiment is certainly there.This bonus piece is one I’ve been sitting with since June, back when a choice I had wriggling around in my brain became a reality. I hinted at it in several pieces. And while it isn’t the most profound thin
your slow living syllabus: autumn semester edition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to the official first week of autumn and introduction to your slow living autumn semester. I thoroughly enjoy writing these pieces, partly because they’re such a fun and nostalgic format, but also because I miss the academic space quite a lot.

Septembers are an incredibly inspired month for me, as they offer so much to be inspired by: the subtle shifts in air, palettes, and energy, artwork hung from museum walls, thick academic paperbacks. I want to dip my fingers in auburn lacquer and write until my journa
a (realistic) slow living august in review. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Much like the prior seven months of this year, August felt equal parts short yet slow. At one moment, I’d be lounging in the pool on a ninety-degree day. Another moment, I’d snuggle up to a steaming cup of cinnamon coffee. The transitional nature is something I’ve come to not only notice about the month, but also deeply appreciate. As I reflect on the dynamic days of August, I have also come to learn that it just might be my favorite time of the summer season.Here is my slow living August in rev
