Sunday Morning Coffee: July 26, 2020

Things are heating up this past week, and we’re looking at a few scorching days ahead. For the past two weeks, I’ve gone out on long walks with a friend from my school program, despite the heat, and it’s felt so good to move my body and sweat a bit. There have been a lot … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: July 19, 2020

I spent last weekend at an al fresco picnic along the river. The weather was great, and everyone was (mostly) appropriately socially distanced and masked. We know masks help and are our best shot at getting through the worst of this pandemic and mitigating future death and economic damage. **Wear a mask!** I’ve spent the … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: July 5, 2020

Good morning. I hope today finds you well and rested after what felt like a somewhat muted 4th of July weekend. It makes a ton of sense why this year’s holiday felt different: we’ve spent much of the spring and summer reckoning with the flaws of our nation’s present and history, and because of the … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: June 28, 2020

Good morning. We’ve made it to the last Sunday in June, and suddenly July 4th is almost upon us. It feels like the holiday approaches with a whimper this year as we continue to reckon with the shortcomings of our national agenda (the pandemic response, systemic racism, a frayed social safety net straining at the … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: June 14, 2020

Good morning and happy Sunday. The theme this week appears to be people pushing to go back to normal, and in all the ways that feels so wrong. We’re still very much in the middle of a pandemic and black lives matter. The weeks ahead can be an opportunity to pull forward the elements of … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: June 7, 2020

It’s been an intense past two weeks. I woke up last Sunday without the energy to figure out how to show up online in a way that wasn’t another voice in an echo chamber of white bloggers responding to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The call this week is to keep showing up … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: May 24, 2020

We’ve all been thrown for a loop this spring, and as the semester hurtled on but the kids were home full-time, I just didn’t have the capacity to organize and post regularly. What I’ve been trying to do with the stay-at-home orders is keep my kids engaged and stay on top of my work and … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: March 22, 2020

It’s been a week, as I’m sure it has been for everyone. We had one complete work week with the kids at home. Luckily, I was on spring break, so I didn’t have any pressing academic commitments, but I did spend some time figuring out the logistics of getting my nutrition practice moved to a … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: March 15, 2020

How is everyone doing? This has been quite a week as the urgency surrounding the coronavirus precautions intensified. It was midterms at school, and this week is spring break, which is nice now but was stressful last week as we were all trying to learn, study, and adapt simultaneously. My dad also flew in for … Read more

Sunday Morning Coffee: March 1, 2020

Just when I thought I’d get back into my usual routine and work flow after taking a day off for the February holiday last week, Charlotte got sick with a nasty fever, and we had to stay home for a second Monday in a row. It was really the worst over the weekend, and by … Read more
