Recently went to a very nice Vietnamese-owned boba shop called Mirakuru! They’re always changing up the interior decorations & their custom boba cup sleeves~ Plus, their sweetness levels feel actually accurate (not super sweet). Highly recommend :)

Hey girly! I'm not a fan of boba but I get the drinks without boba, lol. I'd love to grab a drink sometime together and go for a hike/walk if you're interested :-)

What's your morning ritual?

I wake up at about 5:30 and then go for a morning walk about 6 either around the neighborhood or on the Aliso Creek Bike Trail.

I pray the Daily Office so on this walk I do my morning prayers and also play a little PokemonGo.

When I get home I will make a pot of breakfast tea and turn on some reruns on TV since the news is mostly bad these days.

I once visited this super cool "floating market" in Vietnam

Definitely get it about the friends with spouses and kids! I had a solid group, and then everyone went and got married - some of them to each other - or they left the Bay Area. C'est la vie, I suppose.

@RAF11 I guess they'll return to us when their kids turn 18?? LOL. But yeah, over time I've noticed that most of my friends are child-free

My favorite photo I took in Antarctica. The trip changed a lot in my life for the better.

That sounds fantastic! It's great that you and your wife make time for both small and big trips throughout the year. We plan to stay locally in California this year and explore more the state parks. Do you have any exciting trips lined up soon?

I keep a photo album of favorite trees I come across so I can imagine I’m sitting under them.

Isn’t it amazing? It’s such a lost art form these days. Words have the power to convey so much and offer a glimpse into someone’s deepest soul

Recently started exploring photography and sketching thoes photos as a form of mindfulness/focus

What’s a topic that fires you up, or that brings out the most passionate side of you?

Travel, spirituality, human connection. How humans are the same but different.. different but really also the same. Controversial topics that are considered taboo, or might be too much for this platform, topics that are generally misrepresented in mainstream media or outside of the group of people that are most severely affected.
When people deliberately misunderstand or take the most unhelpful view of a topic. Ex: feminism. It literally just means that everyone should have equality in dignity, autonomy, and choice. Nothing more, nothing less. But people misunderstand it to mean man-hating or women being against other women who want traditional roles and any number of other things. That disingenuous framing only serves to undermine the movement and take equality away from all of us.

I’ve been trying to get into meditation and it’s quite difficult to calm the chatter in my mind. The app Calm has a 30 day challenge that really helps! Turning mid 30s is really kicking my butt into high gear about being better overall.
