You Did Good, Kid. Thanks for Doing the Uncomfortable Work.

November 2, 2020 By Caroline Peterson

After nearly every election I put together a quick social media post thanking those among us who worked tirelessly in different aspects of campaigns.

May 24, 2020 By Caroline Peterson

It was an awkward moment. As most of my moments are really. As I hopped out of my friend’s car and said goodbye, she asked me if I wanted to meet for coffee on Friday morning. “Oh, I can’t. I have that support group I’m in.” “The one for doctors wives?” she asked while remembering […]

Aloha! We’re Moving to Hawaii.

May 3, 2020 By Caroline Peterson

Please note: This post was originally written at the end of February. About a week before our lives and the course of our future was forever changed due to COVID-19.
