New year, new decade. it doesn't seem to matter though, each year my new year's resolution stays consistent. Write more. Write daily. Share my writing. Have a voice, an opinion, a focus, a vision.

Fall Porch Goals
I wanted to be a home owner for two reasons: To own my own home. So I could decorate the front porch for fall. Seriously, that is only slightly exaggerated.

Weekday Progress: July into August
I'm impressed at how much we've gotten accomplished this week in the evenings after work. It can be tough - we put in 8-9 hour days in the office and by the time we get home, eat dinner, and clean up it is nearly 7pm. Every morning, full of excitement and energy, I jot down our … Continue reading Weekday Progress: July into August
