Welcome To The LITMO Life
There are people who seem to move comfortably through the world they were handed.
And then there are people like me — people who have always felt slightly out of sync with the version of life they were told they were supposed to want.
Years ago, that feeling led me to leave my law firm job, pack up my dog Holly and a backpack, and travel the world full-time in search of something that felt more alive and true.
Then I lost Holly.
And honestly, it destroyed me.
She wasn’t “just a dog.” She was my home, my constant, my soulmate in animal form, and losing her cracked my life open in a way I still don’t fully have words for. But grief has a strange way of forcing honesty. It stripped away everything performative and made me ask what kind of life I actually wanted to live while I’m here.
So at nearly forty, in the wake of grief that will stay with me forever, I started rebuilding my life intentionally — around freedom, meaning, movement, writing, connection, healing, and being fully awake inside my own existence.
This space is where I write about all of it.
So why The LITMO Life?
Because when I was younger, my dad answered every anxiety-ridden text message with the same advice:
“Live in the moment only.”
Eventually, those replies became just one word: "LITMO."
If you’re trying to build a life that feels more honest, meaningful, and fully your own — welcome. Let’s LITMO together.
