    2020-03-30 Balance and Flow

    When you put in the work, sometimes it sucks. But man oh man does it feel good when you’re close to the finish line. That’s how I’m finally feeling today after putting myself in a box for the last three days. Not only did I need to crank out some pages for my MFA thesis…

    2020-03-22 Super-Sized Sunday Status

    It’s Sunday again and I really need to get some steps to boost my stats and get my heart going. Plus, I’ve got a lot to say today so this could get long. Imma start with school. Yesterday I had a two hour phone conversation with my assigned mentor for the semester and though it…

    2020-03-20 Best Laid Plans 🤷‍♀️

    Today I’m going to try… really try to get through the last third of my manuscript and revise those pages based on feedback from my mentor. I have a call with him tomorrow. *** I literally wrote that opening sentence 7 hours ago. I was called away by other duties as assigned and now it’s…

    2020-02-29 Cheers to Leap-Day and the Double-Dot ..

    Today feels like a bonus day. Yesterday I wrote about some goals I have. Those are more general in nature and anyone who knows me knows that I also like to have little weekly and mid-tier monthly goals too. I have a white board that lives behind the door of my office that has a…

    2020-02-28 Goals and Accountability

    I kinda want to get my goals down on paper, as if that has some psychological influence of accountability. It feels like everyday is a struggle to get going and I think that comes from not having hard and fast responsibilities and deadlines. I wonder what will happen when my kids grow up and move…

    2020-02-26 Chickens and Squirrels and Pies, Oh My 🐓🐿 🥧

    I might start by mentioning that I did land on a few goals for the year but that news is so two days ago. I could go on a long tangent about the rabbit hole that I found myself in with domain management, web hosting, and WordPress theme customization. But that’s just yesterday’s news. Then…

  • 2020-02-19 Back to Basics with an Unexpected Twist

    Dear Diary… How I have missed you so! It’s been several moons since we had any quality time together and I’m starting to feel anxious and nervous about our relationship. My biggest fear is that in my absence, you have started reading other people. Please say it isn’t so!.. /gasp /swoon But seriously, since I…

    2020-01-10 Frying Pans and Forest Fires

    One of my goals at Residency is to blog my experience every single day. I almost made it. 8 out of 10 days made their way into the official record. Then things just started moving way too fast and my priorities and desires went elsewhere (appropriately). At the time I thought to myself that I…
