Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
I love bullet journaling. I love the flexibility to make it what you want or need. I've been extremely minimalist lately because I can throw together this monthly layout in just a few minutes and it serves nearly all of my needs for the entire month. No getting out a ruler and trying to draw... Continue Reading →
I wasn't planning on writing this morning, but my WordPress Reader was full of inspirational writing posts (thank you!), so here I am. The floors are covered in books and blocks, little fuzzies, and bread crusts, which is what I should be attending to. But my biggest bear is playing make believe and wants to... Continue Reading →
I'm trying to listen to podcasts again. When I drove to work every day, I had several on rotation. Most were about an hour, so I could listen to the first half on my way to work and then finish on the way home. It was a neat and tidy way to learn about something... Continue Reading →
I recently wrote about my interest in engaging in a Depth Year, one in which I will focus on what I have and won't engage in any new endeavors. A depth year would give me an opportunity to figure out what's important to me and focus on enhancing skills. I haven't been so great at... Continue Reading →

I was on the state-wide waiting list for Michelle Obama's new book, Becoming, and the length of the list was incredible. I'd noticed that my library hadn't yet added the book to their catalog, so I sent an... Continue Reading →
Whew! I know that my last Pause post was published just a week ago, but I wrote it nearly 3 weeks ago and that was my last opportunity to sit down in a quiet spot and put my fingers to the keyboard. And now the momentum that I felt like I had around the holidays... Continue Reading →
2018 was my year of Abundance. I spent the year thinking of the things that I have and how it never seemed to be enough. I also spent the year parsing out what I wanted in my home and cleaning out some old things that had been weighing down my spirit. I didn't spend as... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year! All around the blogosphere, people are anxiously setting goals and breaking them down into smaller tasks. I'm going to try something different this year and set goals that are a bit harder to track than a number of books read or a certain number of blog posts a week. Photo by Roman... Continue Reading →
Hi everyone! Today is a freebie Top 10 Tuesday with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. I loved last week's category - Cozy/Wintry Reads - but I've had a hard time getting much reading in lately because of life. Instead, today I'm focusing on cozy things that have brought me little bouts of joy throughout... Continue Reading →
