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

On the Morning of the Baby Shower, I Went to War
So there I was. It was just before 7:00 a.m. on the morning of my sister’s baby shower. My hair was in a bun on the top of my head, ready to be washed, my kitchen table was covered in cookies and flower arrangements, and my dress was laid out, ready to be put on. Continue reading

Hello there! I wanted to tell you about an exciting new project I’m working on called Thursday Faith. It is a weekly newsletter that will be centered around faith-based content. Growing up, my family almost always went to church on Sundays. That’s what Sundays were all about! Well that and rollups, which is what we Continue reading

Do You Know This Smell?
I’ve been thinking a lot about smells recently, and how interesting it is that we can know and retain and understand so many smells, but the knowledge and memories associated with them are often only triggered when we physically smell them. Trying to describe a smell is like trying to describe a texture. You can Continue reading

200 Day Time Capsule Blog (#11)
One of my favorite parts about these time capsule blogs is reading the cute little notes I write myself at the beginning. I always feel a *little* cheesy when I’m typing them, but when the letter comes in 200 days later, I always smile. This letter opened with: Hey 33-year-old me, how are you? Then Continue reading

Working the Closing Shift
I saw a Tik Tok the other day where a girl described the walk through she does of her apartment each night, calling it the “closing shift”, and I realized I do the exact same thing. Each night, after I turn the television off and start making my way to bed, I walk around my Continue reading

I Am 33 and…
Today is my birthday! Fun fact: I don’t love my birthday! Not because I don’t like celebrating another year of being alive, but because I don’t like the attention. I feel more self-conscious on my birthday than any other day because it’s home to the most surprises, and I hate surprises even more than I Continue reading
