Thanksgiving has become my time to look back & take stock of where I've been, what's changed. 2 years ago, I was at a low point. Last year, things were looking up. This year, I’m grateful for the distance between then and now, and for everyone who helped me get here.

With Gratitude, 2025
Most of the time, people use birthdays New Year’s Day as the milestone dates when they look back over the previous year. For me, Thanksgiving is making for an easier demarcation point for reflection. ...

I couldn’t get the words right, so I made something else instead. This is the story of a blog post that wouldn’t come, a fountain pen rabbit hole, six bottles of ink, and a creative detour.

If I were a marketer, I would know that launching my new website at 6:00pm on July 3rd is a top 5 worst time to do a launch. Oh well.
