This week's Push Picks is coming to you from my laptop propped up on an ExtraSpace Storage moving box. BECAUSE I AM FREAKING MOVING TO COLORADO IN TWO DAYS. I have been looking forward to this day for awhile—I've had dreams about it—but it didn't feel real until I was turning in my badge at …
When You Are Ready To Write
Next week is my 28th birthday. And next week I'll be moving myself, my bike, and a stuffed little Honda Civic across the country to Colorado. !!! Here I am, on the edge of a huge, gigantic, mega-enormous and exciting life change and all I keep thinking is: am I doing it wrong? My path …

I can't help but take everything I see lately as a sign for something. Just last week my grocery bill came out to $31.00 EVEN.

Group Rides: Joining The Pack
