Omit to Commit is all about the resources needed to opt into (and out of) behaviors, such as time, traditions (individual or group behaviors), trust, and treasures. By regularly making and breaking habits, life becomes more fulfilling and satisfying. I’m drafting a book called Omit to Commit, and in 2024, I’m posting research/your ideas/themes on the 20th…

Experiment: Engage and Express
Welcome (back) to my word for the year posts! In case you missed last month’s post, “experiment” is my word for 2024. On the 10th of every month, I plan to set small challenges for myself.

Systems Review: January 2024
Where did January go? It’s been a whirlwind, going back to school for quarter 2 of grad school. I’m learning so much about what I want, now and in the future! Even this week involved 2 interviews, 1 tour of an archives, and even a handful of social activities. No drinking, no animals products this…

Goals Progress Report: December 2023
It’s almost 2024, marking the last post of the year! What have I accomplished this year? Have I succeeded in any of my goals? How will I make changes for the next year?

Inner Compass: Savoring, Solitude, Standing Up
I am so impressed with myself that I have written (and published) on the 10th of every month this year! The fact that I have committed to and accomplished this goal feels so satisfying. Savoring that feeling is a surreal experience because not only have I written 12 posts, I have gained emotional clarity on…
Goals Progress Report: November 2023
There’s one month left of the year! I’m in a completely different headspace than the start of 2023, thanks to changes to my calendar (like transitioning from full-time to part-time and going to grad school) and dedicated time by myself. Emotionally, I am more at peace with changes. Grief doesn’t have a hold of me,…
