Most of my life, I’ve lied through my teeth when people ask me if I’m okay. Yep, I’m good. I got it. I’m fine. But really, I wasn’t okay and I couldnt admit it to myself because I was living from crisis to crisis and people depended on me so therefore I must take on […]
Horrifying
I am so angry and horrified at the murder of George Floyd. I could only stomach a small amount of the video, and I cannot imagine how people of color feel about it. I dont feel qualified to speculate, not being of color myself. I do know what it feels like, to not be heard, […]
Social Isolation
In the past, I would have taken the term social distancing or isolation and thought about those parties I’ve been to where I dont know anyone and dont talk to anyone, just wandering around looking for the person that brought me and feeling incredibly awkward. Now, its socially acceptable introverting. It’s now ok to stay […]
Toilet paper, anyone?
It sneaked up on me, the apocalypse. I’ve been watching the virus since December, when I started reading about a mysterious virus in Wuhan that was spreading fast. I watched the numbers nearly double each day, and I worried. But China is a long ways away from Minnesota and the government there shut things down, […]

The best
So some very very happy news! Lover proposed! I’m insanely excited and happy. It was a complete surprise. 💜
Do not eat garlic naan bread before hot yoga and other life tips
I should write a book of life tips like those. And include why I know why it’s a bad idea. For starters, if you take yourself to breakfast, you may consider smoked trout a delicious and healthy thing to eat (as you should). Be warned however, that if you eat it, you will not get […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
No. I’m not there. That was a nice place though! I hope your day is filled with gratitude and positivity. And pie! ~Lynn
On Elephants
I’ve discovered I really like elephants over the last few years. I really like my elephant lamp (see really old post that I am too lazy to link to) and I have a bracelet and was thinking about elephants today while shopping deals on Amazon. It got me thinking about the animal itself just now. […]
