Checking in on June 2024
I need to do a little reflecting on the progress for June, some looking at the progress for the second quarter, and some comparison between quarters 1 and 2.
Monthly Check-in, May 2024
Whew, did anyone else feel their motivation fly out the window when summer temperatures showed up a little early? The news around here in the desert southwest is being REALLY CAREFUL to remind everyone that it’s NOT summer yet … just Spring. Of course, they’re also regularly reporting heat advisories and reminding people to quit... Continue Reading →
Checking in on April 2024

Things in my day job are headed toward a big upheaval that may cause me to spend more time there, which is always scary. But, that’s not the point of this blog... Continue Reading →

November Reflection and Wrap-Up
As I sit down to write this, it’s the very last day of November. We’re right in the middle of a busy holiday shopping season at the bookstore, and 2023 is coming to an end. As it typical for me, I’m already starting to think about next year. The little notebook I’ve been using to... Continue Reading →
October 2023 Reflection
I know I say this practically every month, but I cannot BELIEVE we’re already in November. Actually, since it’s taken me forever to get a minute to sit down and do this reflection, we’re almost two weeks into November already. It’s time to take a look at what I got done in October. If you’ve... Continue Reading →
