Hope you are all having a lovely weekend. If you're marching, I hope the weather is nice and that you are furious and fierce but also inspired and climatically comfortable.

If you read the last Staunchly (I also posted it here), you know last year was a particularly tricky one for me. (As it was for so many of us). I expected 2017 to end in some kind of apt, dramatically awful fashion, but it just sort of melted away. I took a walk on a beach. I drank some champagne. And then it was 2018.

American Girl

I was averaging 90 mph on the drive from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon. I had cracked all my windows open just a quarter and the wind was spinning my hair into tangles. “American Girl” by Tom Petty blasted on the speakers, though I could barely hear it over the sound of my grouchy old car taking the lithe, stretched-out turns of Route 66 into Peach Springs.

I woke up Wednesday morning to three missed calls from my mom. Every horrible scenario ran through my head. Death. Accident. Burglary.

Last Tuesday, on the afternoon before my birthday, I sat down on my couch to write about turning 28 and what a tough year 27 had been. Nothing too revolutionary, I know. Also, I fully admit there are few things more obnoxious than a twenty-something sharing her thoughts on aging. It’s like: Go fight a war! Get a mortgage! Freeze your eggs! Then talk to me about your experience of life on earth.

It’s been a minute since we last spoke. Here’s the highlight reel of what I’ve been up to.

It’s finally starting to feel like fall here in Los Angeles. By that I mean it’s 77 degrees as I type this but there’s enough of a nip in the air to order my latte hot.
