no. 17, 2.0

January 25, 2016

It's been a year since I've blogged. I would give up on blogging entirely, except that I have a nagging sense that creating and curating and sharing in my own tiny corner of the world are good for me. Not just good for me, but regenerating in a soul food kind of way.

It has been a while – because I am tired, and I went back to working full-time, and I have the kid that doesn't sleep. 

I believe that 90 percent of getting things done is having systems in place to do so. It's why I carry my Day Designer with me everywhere. ClassPass has made it easier than ever to sign up for fitness classes from my phone, and why I switched over to Squarespace. If there are a billion (or really, even 3) logistical hurdles to jump over, meetings don't get scheduled, work outs don't happen, posts don't get moved from my head to a digital space. So I am back, version 2.0, with a new system, and a new space.

Welcome, and hello.
