/now: Kind of like an About page, but updated more often to share in-the-moment tidbits about what’s being pondered + prioritized.

Pondering
- A slide back into the world of writing poetry? Twice recently, while driving, my mind has composed poetry on the fly. It’s been decades since that has happened and I’m embracing it while doing my best to not attach any expectations of further sparks of inspiration. Time will tell but it’s been fun!
- How to celebrate my 50th Birthday! A long weekend in New Orleans in November surrounded by a few loved ones, good music, awesome food, and… TBD
- What is my vibe? Who am I outside of a mama/wife/writer/farmer/Gen-Xer who is no longer defined by my jobby-job? What do I want to do with my time when my youngest is grown? Is there such a thing as a Pivot Coach? Maybe pivot isn’t the word I’m looking for. What this is is much more nuanced… Maybe it’s a Renaissance after the “dark ages” of my mid-life unraveling?
Prioritizing
- Lessening my screen time during my down time. When my mind and body are tired, scrolling has become the answer and I hate it.
- Weeding, irrigating, and keeping the garden going despite the heat and pests.
- Writing something, anything, every single day.
Background
September 2025 – I learned about and wrote a little piece for What’s in my NOW?
May 2026 – I learned about Derek Sivers’ Now Page, how it inspired so many others to create their own, and decided I’d like to create one, too.
