This weekend I set out to do something I had never done before. As my previous baking adventures started due to a deep craving, this time I was craving croissants.

finding my way back to joy

Coming to the end of my journaling, the question I have to ask myself is this: Can you invite joy into the room?

you have to be an active participant in your own life

As a perpetual lover of a good book and sitcom, it seemed like life was always happening. You stepped outside and met the person who offered you a new job.

You crossed the street and … Continue reading you have to be an active participant in your own life

books and songs: summer ’25

This year has probably been the worst for reading in a really long time. I realized that I truly don’t do well trying to read multiple books at once, especially one larger (700+ pages) and one smaller. But in life, we learn as we live. I still wanted to share what I’ve read and the … Continue reading books and songs: summer ’25
