      1. How about someone I think you’re not? You’re not an old man sitting all day to mist and shape your bonsai. You’re not that teacher whose best friend is a plant (think Dwight Schrute from the Office).

    1. I fell in love with journaling when I was 13 years old after we moved to a small desert town. I was off-and-on during school years, but its been an important part of my life for decades!

      Yeah, meditation, I’m not so good at. I used to do a guided meditation in the mornings and night! Then it was just mornings, and now, I’m pathetically clocking in 10 mins in the a.m.
