  • Hey writers, wanna be writers, journalers, wanna be journalers, anyone with words in their brain they want on paper . . . I get a small group together on a quarterly basis to work on writing projects. We meet at the Columbus library (main branch), eat/drink coffee at their cafe and chat about what we’re working on, then we find our own space/tables and spend time on our writing projects, and then celebrate our hard work with tacos for dinner at a nearby restaurant. If you’re interested in joining, comment below and I’ll add you to the Facebook invite. This requires 0% qualifications of any kind. Those suffering with imposter syndrome are welcome . . . and required. It’s just a small group encouraging each other and providing time and space to write. You can bring a blank piece of paper, a blank document, a project in the works, etc. There’s no rules. . . . . . #writingday #writer #journaler #columbusohio #littleredbirdpress #creative #better
  • Before my great grandma passed away, I asked her how she makes her cornbread. With a Kentucky twang she just shrugged and said, “I just make it.” Soup beans and cornbread has been a family meal long before I ever would’ve thought of trying a soup bean. My Grandma taught me how to make all of it tonight. The “recipe” is very suspect with most things being noted as “I just grab this big spoon and do heapin’s of corn meal...3 or 4 heapins’” We’ll see how well I can turn these heapins’ into something someday. 💜 . . . . . . #soupbeansandcornbread #recipe #family #grandma #cooking #portorangeflorida #florida

  • I’ve shared a lot of goals and adventures . . . but perhaps my biggest accomplishment is something I’ve been doing in the background in this little blue book. It’s a journal I started in 2015 and the place I have documented every single day for the last 5 years. Today, 12/31/19, I will have filled every line on every page. If you’re a part of my life in any way, I can guarantee your name shows up in this book. I’ve documented every trip Chris and I have been on, every job promotion we’ve had, all of the day-to-day stuff that feels mundane but suddenly seems interesting when you read about it years later, every new baby a friend or family member has had, the loss of family members, the loss my friends have had in their families, the days that writing a book was just something I was thinking about, every life decision we’ve made, every big purchase we’ve made, every big or little thing happening in my parents and grandparents lives, every time I stayed late at the office until the lights shut off, every milestone in my sister’s life, every up and down . . . it’s all in there. And it’s not just limited to my world, but I often document what is going on at large — when I started this thing, Obama was President, gay marriage had just become legal in all 50 states, the U.S. women’s gymnastics team won the Olympics in Rio. I can’t imagine myself not documenting my days. I look forward to opening a new five-year journal tomorrow. It’s never too late to start . . . if you’re reading this, you should start one too! . . . . . . . . #journaling #fiveyearjournal #writing #writer

  • Instead of a new year resolution, I started choosing a word of the year as a theme for whatever presented itself throughout the year. In 2019, my word was “audacious” which is defined as “showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks.” That word took me to places and provided experiences I wouldn’t have traditionally thought possible. In 2020, my word is “better.” I’m excited to level up everything I do next year and see where this word takes me. What’s your word? . . . . . #2020 #newyear #wordoftheyear #better #newyearresolution #goals #audacious #levelup
