Happy Monday! It’s been RAIN.com over here! Even though this is my second winter in SF, it feels like there is 10x more rain this year.

For a running blog…we haven’t talked about running in a loooong time. That’s probably because not much running happened last year.

2018 was probably the most dynamic and crazy year of my life: getting my actuarial license, quarter life crisis, career change, new job, lots of travel (4 countries/30 flights!), changes in friends, changes in myself…what a year! Through this craziness, I also grew the most out of any year so far, and I wanted to … More 2018 Reflection
With the holidays coming up it’s been busy-busy over here! The social calendar was jam packed this past week – almost every day there was something fun going on!
