Patience (noun): The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. See also self-restraint, perseverance, and persistence. I'm not a patient person.

Motivational Monday: You Belong
Happy Motivational Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a wonderfully restful and reenergizing weekend. After spending the last four days huddled up in a hotel chaperoning the Princeton Model UN Conference, it's so strange to finally reemerge. After arriving to the hotel/conference venue, my students and I were sequestered indoors. Most of them were working hard, while… Continue reading Motivational Monday: You Belong

Tuesday Tunesday: Keep Breathing
328. Three. Two. Eight. Three hundred and twenty-eight. That's the number of times (give or take) I've played Ingrid Michaelson's "Keep Breathing" (Be Ok, 2008). First heard on Grey's Anatomy when Cristina realizes Burke not only called off the wedding, but also left her for good (Season 3, Episode 25 "Didn't We Almost Have it All?"),… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Keep Breathing

Wellness Wednesday: Moving On After Election Day
Dearest friends, Today is admittedly a difficult and confusing day. I'd much rather be at home, tucked away in the safety and comfort of my bed, than at work, and I'm sure so many of you feel similarly. I woke up yesterday morning optimistic and confident in a "Clinton" win. Why the quotation marks? I… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Moving On After Election Day

Motivational Monday: Don’t Miss It
Happy Monday, friends! I can't believe it's November already--again, where did the time go? It almost feels like I ask this same question for every "new month" post, but seriously, I just can't wrap my head around these passing days.
