This is (tentatively) called the 3P chart. This is due in part to my shifting schedule. As I transition from class to work, social groups and…

Omit to Commit: Still Making a Community
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…
Systems Review: Virtual Safe Space for Coffee Talks?
Virtual coffee talks are my jam: The shared space, often over caffeine and conversation, fosters connections. Something about the buzz of both the cup of joe and life talk just changes the dynamic. The convos often lead to bigger goals beyond catching up. Sometimes, they’re strategically just for that: Life-talking over coffee. While I (virtually)…
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.

Why wait to write a book? Who, me?
I started a new “Why Wait?” series about writing last Wednesday about my goal of becoming an author. I aim to post every Wednesday, so today I’m talking about the WHOS.

Taking control of what I want
A dear friend recently told me to, “control the controllables.” Isn’t that awesome? It gives so much agency to do what I can but also recognize that there are systems so much bigger than me, that only I can do what I can do. So what can I do to work on what I want?…
Creating an Environment for Growth with an Inspiration System
If you’ve been following the blog, you know I believe in systems: automating processes to expedite progress, stay inspired, and move forward. Writing every week helps me tangibly track my progress. I record my thoughts and include next steps to help you. But what better way to keep this creative, collaborative progress going by sharing…
