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’ve also picked things that I want to be more mindful of in myself and my relationships. And as always, I’ve picked 17 because it’s my… Continue reading

My 2023 Rec Roundup
My favorite part of writing recommendation lists is imagining someone finding something new that they love, and experiencing the same excitement I did when I first saw/watched/listened to it. 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

Best Things I Bought this Year
Ah yes, my favorite kind of year end post: one with things I can *add to cart.* December is the most dangerous month for my credit card, so I apologize in advanced if you are as vulnerable as I am right now. Here are the best things I bought this year: 1) Pieces Into Place… 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

Not 75 Hard, 75 Kim
If you can believe it, there are less than 70 days left in 2023. I always get a dual sense of panic and excitement about the end of a year. It feels like crunch time to get everything accomplished and time to start planning and setting goals for next year. But recently, I’ve seen a… Continue reading

The Countdowns Never Stop
I saw a sign the other day that said there are 75 days until Christmas. There are less now. There are even less days until Hannukah or Halloween or Thanksgiving, and we all know an estimate of how far off our birthday is. In my family, we’re counting down the days until our newest member… Continue reading

Listen for the Questions You Have
A few weeks ago, I attended a two-day writing workshop at UCLA. It was 16 hours of intense work: writing to prompts, listening to lectures, and often reading our work aloud for responses from both the teacher and our classmates. Typically, this is my nightmare. Who likes to read aloud? Especially when it’s your own… Continue reading
