The annual check in. This is a process I participate in every year, and of all the practices I engage myself in this is probably the one that is the most important for me. I usually take an entire month to go through this part of the process, and there’s a good reason for that. Every year I wonder if […]
Write My Map Reflection: Weeks 5 & 6
It is hard to slow down this time of year. Even as someone who has immensely more control over my schedule than most people do, there are a lot of pressures and activities happening all around me. I have to work extra hard to filter what needs my attention and what can be left alone, and to determine how to […]

Write My Map Reflection: Weeks 3 & 4
This part of Write My Map has been about exploring mission, specifically our own missions. And as I was writing in response and reflection to the prompts, I couldn’t help but also reflect on how my understanding of mission has changed over the years.

It became clear to me that my dreams for where I go from here, who I work to become both now and, in the future, have been deeply impacted. Not just by the last few years, but […]

WriteTogether Reflection: Week Seventeen
I don’t even know where to begin with this week. Honestly, it was really hard to settle in for writing for myself this week. I had to check in with myself a lot about that, the truth is that I had a lot of writing to do for work this week. Sometimes when I write for work, its simple and […]

Sometimes I have to take a moment when I think about how much time has passed during these writing journeys. I know it seems silly but the chaos of […]

WriteTogether Reflection: Week Fifteen
Listen, this week things were pretty intense. In the middle of it, I got a chance to do some physical labor that helped me keep at least a little bit of my sanity, and as my kid would say its “so exhausting it’s good.” I cant say that hurt things any, as someone with ADHD sometimes that tactile work helps […]
