To sad something out, should be a phrasal verb—a way to overcome sadness by tuning into it to get it over with. I, like many, experience extreme sudden sadness, and now instead of running from it, I sort of bathe in it, marinate in it, and let it go. It has proven a faster and […]

As a teacher, I’ve said more goodbyes than I can remember. I thought biding farewell would get easier in time but it doesn’t.

One of the things I most enjoy when spending time with my sister, is doing things together outdoors. For as long as I can remember we´ve both been into fitness and have shared hikes, runs and long walks on the beach together. She lives in Florida and one of our favorite things to […]
