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. Focused on fun, feeling, and actually doing things, “experiment” merits play, trying, and failing. Previous words of the year…

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…
Omit to Commit: Creative and Technical Writing (or Childhood and Adulthood)
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: Word for 2024
Welcome (back) to my word for the year! How can I add more curiosity to my life? What little changes can I make to feel more engaged, inspired, or playful? Enter my word for 2024: Experiment. How do I set my focus, intention, or word of the year? Unlike a resolution that tends to have…
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? Since so much was measurable, were any actually obtainable? (Should I make some data visualizations in the future so it’s not just…
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,…
Omit to Commit: Medium Matters

By regularly making and breaking habits, life becomes more fulfilling and satisfying. I’m drafting a book called Omit to Commit, and in 2023, I’m posting research on the…
Inner Compass: Shifts, Support, and Showing Up
This season of life has brought both support systems and solitude. Making space for just myself has been essential in the sea of change. When I am by myself, there’s less pressure to be ‘on’ and I can do nothing or everything (there really is no in-between). I am not alone, but I am okay…
Goals Progress Report: October 2023
Grad school is hard in the sense that I have built a life already, and I “have” to squeeze education (and an additional job, networking, PD, etc) in. Compared to undergrad, grad school – just like work – isn’t my complete life. Yet I am learning so much about the world, who I am, what…
Omit to Commit: Share the struggle and the success
