In 2024, I realized that there is contentment in the now. Happiness can’t always be in the next big thing. It’s sometimes just simply that cup of coffee on a slow Saturday morning. It’s sitting by a fire with your friends just chatting about life. It’s getting up each day and getting the choice to do something that you love with your life.

From the Journal. Written January 2023.

A writer sees and notices things differently. We tend to be more observant and notice the little things throughout life. Like for me, I notice the way the sunlight reflects through my house in the evenings. It’s a gentle reminder that I’m right where I need to be.
