Hi, I'm Kaylie.

Multi-Passionates Welcome

Expressing yourself through multiple mediums and positions is often vulnerable and isolating, but you are not alone. You belong to you. And have a powerhouse community here. This website is a safe space to share successes and struggles as we remix life through many forms. Fellow multi-passionate creatives, if you’d like to share, apply for a free creative spotlight where we’ll talk about art, work, and life. You’ll get a special feature story on my blog and an Instagram post.

About Kaylie

I’m Kaylie Longley, a library and information science student, community archivist, endurance runner, and mixed media artist. I’m geeky about the cosmos and coffee and love connecting with creative, can-do humans. In 2025, I’m drafting a book on the opportunity cost of habit change, Omit to Commit and also striving to be open-hearted (my word for 2025) in who I am and what I do. This year, I publish posts every 10 days on the blog. Let’s connect on LinkedIn.

2025 Goals

Here are my daily, weekly, and monthly goals for 2025. Since 2019, I have publicly shared my aspirations for the year. What started at an astounding 19 goals for 2019 has now turned to daily, weekly, and monthly habits. These all (loosely) follow my core lived values of create, explore, learn, move, and serve. Events, like graduating from my LIS program, are not listed in goals. I believe those are completely different strivings. However, what is included on this 2025 goals sheet is my word for the year, open-hearted. My intent is to live authentically, positively, and vulnerably. More to come on that, with open-hearted posts published on the 10th of every month.

Here’s other content/goals you’ll see highlighted (and occasionally low-lighted) throughout the year:

Create in 2025:

  • Daily: Write 3 pages
  • Weekly: Artist date
  • Monthly: Poetry slam or perform

Explore in 2025:

  • Daily: Practice DuoLingo (so far, Swedish and Spanish)
  • Weekly: Research people of color, LGBTQIA+, and/or other marginalized identity artists and authors committed to their craft. This is in support of my forthcoming book, Omit to Commit – it’ll be better with more perspectives, and these will be published on the 20th every month
  • Monthly: Visit 1 new-to-me trail

Learn in 2025:

  • Daily: Read 1 chapter/article – good for my LIS program, Omit to Commit, or just for fun!
  • Weekly: Coffee talk with friends, artists, fellows, and family
  • Monthly: Try 1 medium, published monthly on the 30th

Move in 2025:

  • Daily: 5-minute abs
  • Weekly: Join a dance team
  • Monthly: Increase milage for a half marathon by summer
