#19 The Paradox of Being Grateful Yet Demanding
“Over the past year or so my dad has been referring to almost everything as being paradoxical. And at times I’ll admit, it really pissed me off. Not everything is a paradox, Dad.”
#18 Refocusing my direction… and maybe yours too?
“I had a dream the other night that I was flying in the sky riding Rudolph (yes, the red-nosed reindeer) when suddenly the little guy started deflating (he was full of air) and I went plummeting down deep into the ocean.”
#17 A Happy Yet Indecisive Rugger
“I can’t even put into words the incredible people, especially women, I’ve met through rugby; Women who are unapologetically themselves, who stand up for what they believe in, they’re innovative, they’re resilient, they’re just freaking gorgeous humans inside and out.”

“A little bit after my first missed period I started eating bowl after bowl of granola.”
