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: March 2023
Heaven: I’m sipping peach tea, one of my favorite yellow labs (the same fellow from Thanksgiving) is beside me, and the sun’s pouring over us. This space is exactly what I needed, not just for reflection of the last month but to sit and be still for at least part of Spring Break. March consumed…
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…
Asking for grace via acceptance and agency
It’s April 10th, so that means another grace post! Since it’s a new month, April’s grace themes on the 10th, 20th, and 30th will start with letter A. In honor of being (nearly) halfway through with spelling out g – r – a – c – e, I’m shaking up today’s format, mainly focused on…

Grace and God, Grounding, and Going
Welcome to Post 2 on my discoveries into grace, my word for 2022. I’ve been thinking about where grace comes from. I’m currently defining “grace” as giving awareness to space and time, thinking and feeling. This definition is slightly different from my first grace post, where I announced grace as my word for the year….
Website Goals for February 2022
I am SO glad I’ve crafted this space online to create a workflow and a living, breathing journal of my work and words. When I launched this website in 2019, I had many goals before “settling” on my name, from “Introvert Guide to Life” to “Word Nerd.” I am happy to share that different webpages…
Goals in Progress: January 2020 Review
In 2020, I set 10 values-based goals, and in the process, I’m working hard to see the value of the “in-between.” I believe everyone’s a work in progress, after all. A monthly review comes at an excellent time because one of my creative role models, Alexandra Franzen, is running a checklist contest. This is thanks to…
The vulnerability of publicly sharing your story
Over the last month, I promoted my website to my social media followers, met with some new and old friends on communications projects, and have given a lot of head-space to what you’re reading right now. In honor of this baby’s 6-month birthday, I felt compelled to share my website to my small, very much…
