Do you do the word of the year thing? Despite doing it for a few years, it still feels relatively new to me. I love the concept of having one word of focus, something to help guide you in your decisions and actions throughout the year. I think I learned of having a word of […]
goals: the weight I’m choosing to put on in 2021
Are you a resolution maker or a goal setter? For the better part of my life, I was a resolution maker. I resolve to…. It wasn’t a choice I made or even really explained, it was a phrase I was taught: New Year’s Resolution. When asked, I bet you can rattle off five or ten […]
My Favorite Books of 2020
I’ve read 33 books this year (two of which I’ll finish before Monday, so darn it, I’m counting them!). Looking back over my list in Goodreads, some of them I completely forgot I read or have no recollection of what they were even about. Doesn’t that just match up with the year 2020? But there […]

From journaling to daydreaming, putting words down on paper helps to unclutter my mind, clear my conscious and unleash my imagination. Writing gives me clarity, motivation and freedom. It beckons me to the […]
buy, borrow, bypass: my july book review
July reading was a reading success! I devoured six books!. True confession: one of those was consumed via Audible. But, reading is reading, right!?! I’m excited to say that out of the six books I read, not a single one was a bypass! Three of them I liked and three I really, really enjoyed. If […]
buy, borrow, bypass: my june book review
In June, I finished three books but it sure felt like I read a lot more! It’s probably because all of my library borrows came in all at once and I was racing to finish them before they automatically returned. It never fails the one book I’m dying to read suddenly becomes available when I’m […]
it’s ok to not be ok
Fine. I’m fine. It’s fine. Those are common responses to “How are things?,” “How are you?,” and “How’s it going?”. They’re perfectly acceptable answers, but nine times out of 10 they are a lie. There are definitely occasions when that answer is true and right. When it’s not though, we wouldn’t dare say anything but. […]
