It’s been a while since the last “phase” post, and while I won’t recount every twist and turn of the recent madness, I’ve been busy navigating the storm. In the middle of the chaos, I found steady ground in creating, staying active, and showing up for the people around me. There’s a quiet truth I’ve […]

So late, it’s not even funny I usually write these recap posts in January, or maybe February if things are hectic. I can’t really explain why I’m writing this ten months late. There’s no excuse. 2024’s goal was the same as 2023–50 books. Two years in a row, the goal has been met. Looking back, […]
This week’s links are more work-related than pure eye candy. That’s where my head is at. I’ve always enjoyed process, the ugly, messy way that beautiful stuff gets made.
