Tonight I took my last creative nonfiction class through the Indiana Writers Center (through Zoom, of course). It was a wonderful, warm group. We shared our vulnerability and sadness through our stories. When the pandemic ends, I look forward to meeting up with my classmates in person. This writing class was a bright spot in… Continue reading Bloom Where You’re Planted

Camping in Hoosier National Forest
Since the start of the pandemic, I've been fighting a lot of restlessness. One of my goals for the year was focusing more on travel before the next phase of my life. I started strong with a trip to San Francisco, then found myself in lockdown weeks later. It's a privileged thing, really, and sadder… Continue reading Camping in Hoosier National Forest
FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Happy Monday, friends! How have you been? Things are good here. I thought I had this quarantine life figured out, but June was a little tough! I think I finally realized things won't be back to normal soon, even though it appears to be an American past time to pretend that the virus doesn't exist.… Continue reading FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
San Francisco 2020
Good morning friends! This morning, I wanted to share my San Francisco trip from February with you. It's taken me awhile to find the motivation for this post. I think I needed some time to unpack this trip, especially in light of the pandemic. I felt sad thinking about it at the beginning, but now… Continue reading San Francisco 2020
Why Is It May?
Hi friends! This is a super quick post since things are pretty busy at the moment! Work is insane and I've had to pass on some of my reports to others. Working in consulting turns you into a hoarder; I don't LIKE giving up assigned reports, but my work load was just not sustainable. And… Continue reading Why Is It May?
A Rambling Crafty Update
Hello friends! I don't know about you all, but it's been a crazy week. I love my job and my projects, but often in consulting, everything just kind of falls on your desk at once and it's hard to balance everything sometimes. So anyway. Thank you all so much for your encouraging comments on my… Continue reading A Rambling Crafty Update
Big News
Hello friends! I've been sitting on big news for about a month now, but since I've started telling my coworkers about it this past week, I feel good about announcing it in a public space.* We're moving! To Indiana! (If I were a YouTube vlogger, I would have made that announcement at the 18 minute… Continue reading Big News
2018 Recap
Good morning, friends! As I type this, I am drinking coffee, have a knitting project on my lap (I needed a break from the llama amigurumi torso) and am wondering when the Twilight Zone marathon is starting (edit: it's already started, YAY!) I can hardly believe it is already New Year's Eve. What a year.… Continue reading 2018 Recap
Trying to Stay Focused
Hello friends! Happy Halloween! This year I am copping out and wearing some kitty ears as my costume. It is the most I am willing to dress up while at work. I hope you all are doing well. I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT MY TEST AT ALL. NOPE. NOT ME. It's not constantly eating away at… Continue reading Trying to Stay Focused
Exam Attempt #3
Well, exam attempt 3 is complete. I just don't think I got it this time. The feeling I had when I left the exam was too similar to attempts 1 and 2 to feel confident about my chances of passing. I'm still digesting it and I was really sad after the exam, but I'm feeling… Continue reading Exam Attempt #3
