“You’re not doing it wrong. It’s just that hard.” During these newborn days of endless trial and error, it’s easy to feel alone (especially if, like us, you’re away from family and friends). It can be hard to remember that the mountain of self-doubt you find

This is the strangest of times. In a few weeks (maybe one, maybe three, maybe more...), you will arrive, and everything will change. So much of this in-between time is wonderful, and I'm doing my best to soak it in – sitting out on the balcony watching and feeling
