When I was a little girl, I took eggs from the fridge and hid them in my gigantic Narnia-esque wardrobe. I’m still not sure what possessed my parents to buy antique furniture for a child’s bedroom, but it was a good wardrobe for hiding things in. I wanted the eggs to hatch, of course, and […]

A love letter to myself two years ago It was New Year’s Eve 2019. Also, my anniversary. I remember how frazzled I felt. I got a gold sparkly manicure only to pick it all off by the end of the day! After two years of working on a course with lots of delays, I was […]
