June 2019 Goals
Here’s what I’m hoping to accomplish in June, along with what I’m looking forward to and what I’m loving.
Places I Stopped
I recently finished the book Places I Stopped on the Way Home and found it deeply powerful. Inspired by Meg (I mean it when I say that this is the deep, heart wrenching, incredible book I’d like to write one day), I decided to write about five of my own “places I stopped.” I picked a place or a thing or an experience, set a timer for five minutes, and wrote. As I wrote, some themes emerged. Without further ado, here’s an incomplete list of places I stopped on the way home.
You Can Go Home Again: Boston 2019

Picture This: Live in Concert
I first heard of Picture This in the summer of 2017, when my Irish cousin told me that I needed to check them out. The band, who are from Ireland…
Weekend Update 06
This weekend was great, as evidenced by the fact that I’m writing about it on Thursday! I didn’t take a ton of photos but I did do a lot of things. On the list: Game of Thrones, a road race, a party, and more Game of Thrones.
The Gifts of Right Now
I’m following up on my gifts of January post (so long ago!) to talk about the gifts of right now. Here are the things that I’m loving at this moment…
Favorite Books of Quarter One
In my 2019 reading goals post, I said that one of the things that I wanted to commit to doing was writing more detailed thoughts on my favorite books I read each quarter. Why should we have to wait until the end of the year for me to write about my ultimate favorites? Here’s what I loved in Quarter One.
