3 Essential Home Organization Tools You Didn’t Know You Needed
Transform your space with these three essential home organization tools that streamline clutter and enhance efficiency for a more functional living environment.
What is Home Management?
Imagine your home not as a picture-perfect curated photograph, but as an essential organization that functions for you and your family. While it may sound simple, defining what we mean is important. Home Management is a blend of organizing, planning, and maintaining various aspects of your home life to ensure smooth daily operations. It’s not […]
Grief is Weird
It has been a few months since my grandmother passed away and I am still experiencing serious grief. I keep thinking about the quote from Wandavision (how silly is it that I’m quoting a Marvel TV show in a very personal writing): “But What Is Grief If Not Love Persevering?” Wandavision In these months of […]
Failing Out Loud and… Proud?
It’s not new to hear me talk about the parts of myself that I am learning to embrace through my Human Design. I have talked extensively about what it means to be a manifestor and how this has changed my approach to work, life, and coping with my chronic illness. But another aspect of my […]
Good Beginnings and Happy Endings… and an Okay Middle?
Over the past few weeks, I have been catching up on the AppleTV+ show Schmigadoon. As a musical lover, I enjoyed the first season, and the second season comes in with a similar concept, parodying musicals from the 70s and 80s such as Chicago, Sweeney Todd, and Jesus Christ Superstar. If you’re into musicals, I […]

In the past week, I witnessed what I considered a lack of empathy for someone being truthful and an excess of empathy for someone who was lying. It started me thinking about who we […]
Creation Fixation

Threads: Joyful, Chaotic Community Building in Action
I want to write about what is on my mind – and today that is Instagram’s new app Threads. I am an early adopter of technology. Last night Instagram (well Meta) released Threads, a social media app to fill the void that Twitter’s awful new policies are creating. Basically it takes your Instagram, you import […]
Notion
I use Notion to organize pretty much everything in my life – I am a huge fan and I think you should be too.
Ending of a Comfortable Middle
At the beginning of The Mddl, I skirted around talking about my symptoms and potential diagnoses. I never wanted to have to go back and have to say, “just kidding, I’m fine and this was all me being dramatic.” I was going to doctors weekly, new diagnoses thrown out as possibilities, only to be eliminated […]
