5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me
Everyone has those little things about themselves that not everyone knows, right? Not huge, deep, dark secrets, but little things that most people probably wouldn’t judge you for, but that you’ve never really thought about mentioning. Here are five of mine that are mostly pretty silly, but hopefully new to those that don’t know me super well. Enjoy!

Being UU: Part 2- How I Found Unitarian Universalism and Being UU in the ‘Bible Belt’
I am a Unitarian Universalist. I have been for quite a few years. Honestly, I have been my whole life; I just didn’t always know what it was called.

My Workout Routine
I don’t have one. “What? What’s the point in making a blog post about it, then?” you’re probably wondering. I know, it seems silly to have a post titled “My Workout Routine” when I don’t even have something I can write down for you, but stay with me. Continue reading “My Workout Routine”
