Flourishing in Every Way

Hello, you made it! Thank you for being here! This has been a long time coming.

I’ve been developing a deep relationship with writing over the years. And when I say over the years, it’s not just a few years. I’m talking since 2001—when I was in the fourth grade. Recently, I dug out some old journals/diaries, and it literally dates back to July 2, 2001.

Dear Diary…

In college, I transitioned to an online form of journaling aka blogging (for my eyes only), and it just kept continuing for years and years, and here I am, officially launching a public one—one where the whole world can peer in.

I wouldn’t say that 25 years of writing amounts to an outstanding writer, but I do like writing, and I still like writing. It’s my favorite form of communication and expression. It’s also why I’m an emailer. I used to send email date invitations to my husband all the time during our dating days. And then he started copying me (lol). Thankfully, he’s also a writer in his own way, so we both had fun with it.

Where I live, work, and play is currently home. I spend most hours of the day with my almost six month old, so my writing is done in small pockets throughout the day, and my longer stretches at night when little one’s asleep. I’m finding that writing during postpartum has helped keep my brain sharp, so this is me trying to “flourish” in a small way.

Here, I’ll share a mixture of reflections and everyday living. Reflections are more conceptual and thoughtful and reaches depth. Everyday living is simple and very practical—something that if you’re interested, you can easily try or check out. And I think that describes me in a nutshell. I love the thoughtful aspect of life and also the practical.

This is the heart behind Flourishing in Every Way—joyfully navigating life through one reflection and one application at a time, towards living fully and living well.

Welcome, and enjoy!
