Remembering Mom

Me & My Mom. Circa 1985. Biel, Switzerland

My Mom passed away on Sept. 27th, 2018. Our relationship was complex, and what I can say is this: In my experience of her, when her illnesses & anxieties subsided, she was generous, understanding, and had a kind kind heart. 

I love this photo of us together in Switzerland, circa 1985. . . . . . .  This is how I like to remember her. 

I hope you’re in more peaceful place now Mom. 

Remembering. Through. Photos.

Art as life. Life as art.

Jakey + New Running Shoes + Fit Bit = Preparing For A Marathon

August 2018. San Francisco, CA

Well. It’s been decided. Jakey + New Running Shoes + Fit Bit = Preparing For A Marathon; I’ve never run a marathon before, and that seems like all the more reason to try... :) June 2019. And coincidently, on my Mom’s Birthday. The past few years have been a real testament to what not prioritizing self-care can look & feel like. And I’m not interested in that way of being anymore. Or in devoting my energy & efforts toward things that don’t make my heart sing. 

Soooooooo, I’ve started running 🏃🏾‍♀️😀 

Official prep will begin 6 months in advance — now I’m just pre-training. 

The wonderful thing, I’m learning, about making a commitment, and furthermore a public commitment / declaration, is that it helps me hold myself accountable. So when I want to run, but feel like I can’t afford the exercise time... Well, then I’d be going back on my commitment (!). And I’ve committed to (at the very least try my best to) run a marathon 🤗
