5/28 Starting Five

Each week, I highlight five things keeping me grateful, grounded, and going.

Bear with me… these won’t be publishing on the same day each week. We’ll try for Tuesdays, but perhaps Thursdays are more realistic. Plus, what can you expect after Princeton Reunions/MDW?

Here’s this week’s Starting Five, in no particular order, but definitely Reunions-themed:

#1 - That first hug with the best friends you haven’t seen in months.

#2 - Princeton Alumni Mental Health Coalition

The Coalition put together a powerful exhibit titled “One Too Many: Stories of Princetonian Humanity and Mental Health,” and I was moved by their decision to include my story, originally published by .

#3 - Ponchos

Rain on our P-rade all you want.

#4 - Current players repping the brand.

Doing my best to pass down the mindset. :)

#5 - LOBSTER SEASON (but it always is in my mind)

My apologies to these lobsters for showing their less flattering side, but this meal was the most delicious ending to an epic weekend.
