Today, I’m sharing ideas about myself. So, future me (and present you) can reflect on how one individual is staying committed. To craft, to faith, to a budding library and information science career. First, craft. Blending creativity into my daily experiences is NOT hard. If I integrate it… Or at least, not gatekeep myself. For…

Make New: Exploring Mediums in 2025
One of my 2025 goals is to try a new artform or medium every month! Why did I do this? What kind of mediums can I learn? Or at least, explore? Where can I find the time? These questions race, as I sip my second cup o’ caffeine of the day, this 1 a hot…
Asking for grace via acceptance and agency
It’s April 10th, so that means another grace post! Since it’s a new month, April’s grace themes on the 10th, 20th, and 30th will start with letter A. In honor of being (nearly) halfway through with spelling out g – r – a – c – e, I’m shaking up today’s format, mainly focused on…
Receiving Grace through Rest and Remembering
It’s Wednesday, March 30th, so this is the first of 2 posts today. Read on for how I’m applying grace to rest, remembering, receiving, and responding. (I’ll also be sharing my last anticipated Womxn in Progress, highlighting my cousin Mikayla, so fill out the form here if you’d like to be featured in the future)….
Grace and relationships, responsibilities, and releasing
Hi all! It’s been a minute (about 2 1/5 weeks) since I’ve added GRACE content. In 2022, I am applying GRACE to different topics and publishing these discoveries on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of every month. Because February’s a short month, my last post specifically about grace was on February 20th. Click here to…
A Public Letter of Gratitude for Arthur Read of PBS
Dear Arthur, My name is Kaylie. I’m 29 years old. I’ve watched you since age 4. You’ve remained 8 for most of these last 25 years, occasionally dipping into flashbacks, and a couple times dreaming of the future. You went off the air this Monday, February 21, and while I still haven’t seen your last…
Grace and Growth, Guilt, and Goals
Life has provided grace this week! Has the universe given you grace? Have you given it? As a “word nerd”, I am continually inspired by the many denotations and connotations of grace. In case you missed it, grace is my word for the year, and I am applying grace to different ideas that start with…
Can you be the same person in a different space?
What have I learned about myself during these 4 months in my new home? By physically separating myself from my old life, I have formed a boundary, a space between what I was, who I associated with, and what I worked for. I’ve slooowly stripped myself away from many associations and have befriended solitude, favoring…
(Re)establishing routine after a big change
Oh, hello again, world. It’s been a minute (okay, 2-ish months) since I’ve written last. In that time, I’ve moved to a new state, thanks to a new job. Blogging’s been on my mind. And so has change. I’d rather not write clichés. But I can tell you what I’m feeling, how I’m reacting, and…
A minimalist INFJ’s lessons from a big life change
I’m not much of a procrastinator, but I have learned a lot about myself in the last couple of days, so I apologize for the delay in blogging. No excuses. Instead, here’s some life updates, tossed in with some lessons about myself. I crave time. I measure A LOT. I do things by time: Runs,…
