Happy Saturday! It is muggy here in New Hampshire, but I hope it’s lovely in your part of the world. I’ve been up doing my morning ritual and am ready to share a few of my favorite links from this week. Anne Bogel shared her 9/11 story in such an honest way. She was on …
I always start these posts thinking I’m going to be wise and insightful, but come off sounding whiny. I apologize in advance, but please know that I am using my very serious and very thoughtful voice and not my but life is so unfair! voice. I want to do more. I want to create something fantastic and …
My mind was recently blown. Maybe this has happened to you? I was scrolling through Twitter and taking in my daily allotment of world atrocities, when I came across this tweet: I need to have a word with whoever taught academics to put two spaces after a period. — Nicole Hemmer (@pastpunditry) June 24, 2017 …
I’ve been having quite a difficult time with this blog over the last few weeks. I’ve been in the process of switching to a self-hosted blog, and I did everything wrong on my first go round. That meant that I had to re-do everything and I still don’t think it’s quite right. And on top …

I’ve gotten several message from people saying that they’d love to journal or do morning pages, but can never think of anything to say! And believe me, I’ve been there.

Much to my surprise, I’ve only missed a handful of days which makes this my longest stretch of journaling ever! I’ve always wanted to be the person who had …
I am so excited that my little blog turns one year old today! I remember when the idea to start a book blog came to me and I thought that it was just another flight of fancy (that happens to INFPs), but I’m still here! I’ve started several blogs over the years in different niches, …
