Making Space
I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but I feel like I’ve lost myself. I’ve been in survival mode for several months, and I feel like I have lost the best parts of who I am. I’ve lost the parts that love reading, writing, and learning. I’ve forced myself through workdays when all…

Year-end Wrap Up
I did it you guys! I read 12 books this year. While that doesn’t seem like a lot, considering I read a lot more before, I am proud of myself because I hadn’t made reading a priority in the years after completing grad school. I didn’t exactly read one book per month though, some months…

Writing Journal: Scheduling Projects
My birthday was last week, and with this new year I want to be more serious about my writing projects. I want to actually finish them. And then I want to do something with them—put them out into the world in whatever way makes the most sense. As I was about to write and schedule…
