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,…
Goals Progress Report: September 2023
I’ve survived nearly a month of grad school. From building foundations like librarian values to nuanced work to learn R Studio, I am engaging with so many materials and am savoring the feelings of being exactly in the right space! Being in such a place has given me access to so many new relationships and…
Inner Compass: Routines, Relationships, and Rewards
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. Asking consistent questions like, “what do I value?” and “how do I show up?” have framed much of this…
Omit to Commit Research: Business Work for Yourself, for Others
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 2023, I’m posting research on the 20th…
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…
Inner Compass: Navigation, Network, & Non-Negotiables
Welcome to my second post on Inner Compass, my word for 2023! On the 10th of every month, I’ll be asking questions about my values and identities, all related to each letter of “inner compass.” I’m diving into the first N of “inner compass” today. When I set “inner compass” for my word for the…
Inner Compass: Intentions, Intuition, & Inspiration
I set inner compass for my word for 2023, and my intention is to live these words. Setting an intention or word for the year is different than setting a resolution or goal, but I believe it complements my annual practice of publishing goals. While my 2023 goals are measurable and driven by habits, my…
Introducing: Why Wait? A Weekly Writing Series
After a month of writing about some amazing friends and family via my Womxn in Progress series, I am now sharing MY own work every Wednesday this month, in a new web series tentatively called “Why Wait?”. To start, last Wednesday, April 6th, I rewrote the work webpage of my website. I even posted about…
