A Thousand Tiny Steps

Discovering Treasure Troves In My Old Journals


Listen Later

I recently discovered my old running logs and it was a treasure trove of information on how my life used to be between exercise, old boyfriends, and what my life was like before Molly died. So much of life has changed, and yet, it's like nothing has changed at all. In this episode, I explore my journals and the power of music.

Key Takeaways:

[1:41] Having a deep attachment to things especially after Molly died

[2:42] Creating an actual bedroom for Jack

[4:30] Finding my running logs and it's hard for me to write things down

[7:02] Tracking my running habits, periods of running, and no running at all

[13:18] Not running because of having kids and asthma

[15:55] I never seem to finish journals and it's a pattern

[21:34] Using music for therapeutic purposes

[27:49] Signing up for tap class, stopping, and starting again with Jack

[31:01] So much of my life is no different than 40 years ago

[32:19] What my new year could look like

[35:27] What's your favorite artist?
