another week, another huge gulp of the corporate kool-aid. I’m seriously hooked. this week entailed lots of research time, which I adore, and creating strategies and continuing to feel more and more comfortable in my new role. it didn’t hurt that this week also brought the first day of September, which means both my birthday month and the start of my favorite season, an amazing concert at Red Rocks with one of my favorite bands and time exploring my city via foot and public transportation. also, any week that precedes a three-day weekend is always okay by me.

“Wish I could turn you back into a stranger
‘Cause if I was never in your life
You wouldn’t have to change this
But I know that I’ll be happier
And I know you will too
Eventually” ~Tame Impala

Trajectory of Life celebrates living purposefully with curiosity, courage and simplicity as guides. I use the blog to document this philosophy through writing about my adventures in reading, travel, cooking, photography, fitness, being a dog mom, minimalism, sustainability, living childfree by choice, marriage and setting and meeting life goals. As someone new-ish to the Bay Area, the blog is also where I share tips for things to do in San Francisco as we explore this new city of ours.
