Welcome back to my examinations of “inner compass”, my word for the year! 2023’s nearly halfway over, and while I am looking ahead, these monthly examinations of inner compass help me stay rooted in the present.

Goals Progress Report: April 2023
Wow, April. My, my, my, how things have changed since March. Not to alarm anyone, but today marks a third of 2023 gone to pass. How have you spent it? This last month has seen a change in my temperament, from occasional melancholy to hopeful, as I am learning to share stories and be vulnerable…
Omit to Commit Research: Creative and Innovative Work
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.

Inner Compass: Emotions, Essentials, and Endurance
As 2023 slips into the second quarter, I’m recognizing how much I’ve changed and grown this year. I’m actively not rushing anything, even blog posts.

Inner Compass: North, Ninety Percent Principle, and Nature/Nurture
When I set “inner compass” for my word for the year, I knew I’d struggle with the 2 redundant letters within this 12-letter phrase. And so I’ve been chewing on this second N since I published the first N a month ago, here, on navigation, networks, and non-negotiables. Within these few weeks, I’ve tried giving…
Goals Progress Report: February 2023
February flew by! While vulnerability was a theme for January, I tried to pay attention to the results of exposing and expressing my feelings. It was scary, but I feel fulfilled, as I’ve found space is key for me to actually feel the feelings. This virtual space is one way to share those feelings. Here…
