THIRTY FOUR

Pardon my silence. I moved into an apartment of my very own in a city that I love (Oakland, CA) and promptly celebrated my 34th birthday thereafter. It's kind of odd to say that I'm 34. In so many ways my life is just beginning. I've also not had a home of my own for nearly 2 years, which is a fantastic adjustment. My professional life is about to take a very different and very exciting turn that I am excited to share more about. Things I have been pouring hours of blood, sweat and tears into for years and personal curiosities chased about this great big world of ours have brought me to a place in this life that seems to fit. I'm on a wave of change after change and the ride is nice.

This is what it looks like to be 34 so far…
