May 2021 Wrap-up
It’s been a really big month. Honestly, I spent a bunch of it withdrawn – not hiking, not exercising, not leaving the house, not really posting on social media much. The combo of 14 months of pandemic and incredibly early … Continue reading →
Sunday Coffee – Spring Forward Recap
So spring’s goals mostly felt like an exercise in frustration. So many of them were attempted but failed for circumstances out of my control! You can see the lack of colored-in very clearly in that pic, heh. Here’s how things … Continue reading →

March 2021 Wrap-up
What a weird, weird month. Most of March was actually pretty nice. I had a lot of good moments, learned some things about myself, had tons of birthday celebrations, etc. Ambrose got his first job, Jason and the boys got … Continue reading →

Sunday Coffee – January/February 2021 Wrap-up
My original intention for 2021 was to do a seasonal wrap-up rather than monthly. I set up a future post where I could keep my notes as the months went along. In January, that was fine…but I got toward mid-February, … Continue reading →

50 x 50
For a few years in my 30s, I made myself yearly goals to correspond to my age (35 goals for my 35th year, etc). The last one of these that I did was a 40 by 40 list to be … Continue reading →
2021 Book Priorities
Each year, I make a list of books that I want to prioritize in my reading. A big chunk of these are books that have ended up in my Audible queue, or are sitting on the “to investigate” list of … Continue reading →
