Am I having a career shift? Well, kinda... and I’m excited about it (opens the original)

Happy Tuesday! Normally you hear from me on Sunday afternoons, but I took days off! If you are your own boss and don’t regularly make yourself take a day or two off, you really need to do it and completely disconnect from work. It’s kind of awesome and I’m going to do it more often. But why have I been working a lot? Good reasons and I get to share about it today! Yes, I’ve been writing a lot about everything from Alaska, but I’ve been working on something else too…Thank you for tuning in and re

2+ weeks traveling on my own and now I’m home. I’ll tell you what: there is nothing like time away from your family to get recentered on enjoying every moment you get to have with them. As I bounced around remote Alaska towns I only had reliable enough wifi or cell service to get to talk to my family a few times, and being away from them for 17 days made me really ache. Now that I’m home I feel like I care more about the 30th Anniversary Pokemon and what the current Minecraft project is. I think

So August is hot, and I know it’s not just Florida. We’re back to school and working for the weekend again. It’s funny how easily we all slipped back into the routine, and thank goodness because I love summer break and it’s sad when it’s over. But, it’s been good and the kids have both loved being back. It’s weird to think that they’re in middle and high school. Where has the time gone? But anyways, there are things happening that I want to share.Thank you for tuning in. I’ll keep it simple this
New passports are on the way! And how I deal with humans (cuz I'm not the biggest fan) (opens the original)

Today is the last day of our summer break. I can’t believe it’s over, but also I’m kind of excited. Kids start school tomorrow and they’re both pretty stoked, especially our youngest who’s starting middle school! It’s been a full summer and I’m tired. I kind of ache for a routine again, so that’s something to look forward to, even though it’ll be weirdly quiet around the house.This week I have some thoughts to share about doing what you need to do to be good with you, and a little bit of how I d
Random life advice - how I deal with my brain spirals, and working back into creative mode (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I know that summer is when most of us kind of tune out a “routine” and that’s certainly been the case for me, but today I wanted to share something different than I ever talk about (and then I have other travel stuff too): I have started going back to the gym. I know that’s not something people tune into me to hear about, but I think there are some important elements of what I have to say today, so I’m sharing. And then I’m so excited to share what I’ve been writing, because I’ve been on an inte
