More Like a River Than a Statue
For my birthday a few years ago, my sister got me a letter board, and it has since become home to a quote and/or idea that inspires me. I often like to choose one at the beginning of the year or in light of a big change, to give my mind something to focus on… Continue reading

Have a Nice Life! (I Mean it)

Maybe We’re All Polyhedrons
When I was in 8th grade, my geometry teacher assigned our class to create polyhedrons, which are three dimensional shapes whose sides are comprised of polygons (triangles, squares, pentagons, etc.) It was one of our final projects of the fall semester, and one that required a lot of calculations (and glue) to pull off. I… Continue reading

The Year of “Peace”
Of all the words I’ve been given before, I have to admit I was the most excited about peace. On the surface, peace is the least intimidating word I’ve gotten so far. It is calming and enticing. It is something we all seek, even when we’re not trying. Peace? I asked as I sought assurance.… Continue reading

17 Goals for 2024
What better way to finish out a year than with a good old list of goals? Like last year, I’m not choosing goals that are strictly tangible and trackable.

I also get excited thinking about all the new things I will discover in the new year. Thank you to all the wonderful creative people out… Continue reading

The Power of a Small, Good Thing
About a month ago I was walking down the aisle of a plane, avoiding eye contact with the strangers already buckled, and continually glancing at the row numbers in search of my seat. I always like to get a window seat. I’ve found it helps with my motion sickness, not to mention gives me a… Continue reading

Take Your Treasure Out of the Box
At a recent church sermon I attended, the pastor talked about “taking your treasure out of the box.” She went into the idea that we are all designed specifically and carefully and given gifts (a.k.a treasures) that we can choose to either share or not share with the world. In today’s society, hobbies, gifts, and… Continue reading
