What’s in my NOW

Posted on September 24, 2025April 15, 2026 by Melissa

I wrote a little piece for the What’s in my NOW newsletter that was published today 🙂

This weekly newsletter features a unique look into what an individual is enjoying/appreciating/carrying with them in present time and includes:

  • 3 physical items
  • 2 digital items
  • 1 invisible item

Pop over to see what I included in my NOW.

If you’re curious, the entire archive of NOW posts are available in their Substack and are quite fun to look through. It’s a bit like sitting at the Mall or on a park bench and People Watching, but with expressed consent 😉

Onward,

Melissa

    It was a lovely read. I love keeping journals (not surprising since I bind books). Scribbling words or artwork on the pages is so relaxing. I love listening to music while I work and I am trying out noise cancelling headphones.

      Thank you, Soma! Glad to be reminded of a few tidbits we have in common! I hope you find some headphones that work for you, they can make *such a difference!

    How exciting! I get that newsletter and I remember reading that one, but I didn’t realize it was from a fellow blogger that I read! I’ve thought about submitting an entry but haven’t done it yet.

      Oh how fun! It was such a nice experience to think about what to write about and then to have it shared on their platform! I do hope you’ll submit an entry, I’d love to read what’s in your NOW!
