It’s a challenging moment to be alive. As I write this where I live, businesses are closing and city and state services are shutting down to ride out the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In the midst of everything that is happening, I’m finding that it’s hard to stay present and productive. It’s easy instead to panic and let fear drive choices, conversations, and thoughts…
I love books. After having moved a number of times in the last few years, I should say that I really love the library and digital books (I love my Kindle). I’m always finding new books and checking way too many of them out from the library (which I’ve found is a great way to rack up fees and support your local branch).

It was phenomenal. I learned so much about YOU. And I’m working hard to plan out next steps. I filmed a quick video to share the…
I’ve been following Buster Benson for years. His journaling platform, 750words.com, has been a part of my writing process since the inception of the Meaning Movement. Something that’s always spoken to me about Buster’s work is first, how he works to create tools to help people improve, and second, how he’s always working on projects. He’s not one to sit around, and I really resonate…
