Today is day 100 of my 100 day blog posting challenge. I am so proud that I stuck with it for the full 100 days. I started this challenge because I wanted to form a habit of publishing my work instead of creating or partially creating something and then not publishing it. I wanted to…

Late Post for Day 95 – Thoughts
Today is day 96, but this is the post for day 95. I’m late for the third time, I think, maybe the 4th in 100 days. I did well for a long while, and then I’ve been late several times toward the end of my 100 day challenge. I had planned to continue posting daily…

James’ Blog and New Year’s Directions
Yesterday I was reading a post about New Year’s on James’ Coffee Blog. It’s beautifully descriptive and well written, describing his surroundings, his hope for the new year, and his thoughts on the past. I love how he shares his observations, full of hope and wonder. In the post, James also shares how he thinks…
Halfway Done With a 100 Day Blog Challenge

I Am A Writer
“I am a writer”, a simple declaration at the surface, beyond which are layers of complexity that challenge it. “I am a writer.” What do you write? “I am a writer.” Have you been published? “I am a writer.” Do you earn a living by writing? “I am a writer.” Do you deserve to use…

Interesting 404 Error Pages
I’ve always loved seeing interesting or cute 404 pages, especially when I find them in the wild, but I will admit that sometimes I search for them too. I love how creative people can be on their blogs, and even some larger companies create fun 404 pages. It’s a great way to add a bit…
Updated This Blog’s Homepage
Today I took a look at this blog’s homepage and decided to give it a facelift. What Was Wrong With The Homepage? A few things were bothering me: Too big of a wall of text on the homepage. There was text that should be in another page or blog post instead of on the homepage.…
Blog Origin
First, I’ll tell you a little about myself, then I’ll share a little about the blog. I consider myself a lifelong learner. There’s just something magical about deep diving into a topic and allowing yourself to go down all the rabbit holes. One thing I’ve loved since I was a child was writing. What I…

Why I Deleted My Blog Categories
About a week ago, I deleted my blog categories. I have been learning to use Obsidian, and one thing that stood out to me in a couple of videos I watched about it was. It was suggested to focus on linking your notes rather than folder structure. “Make your notes earn their structure” is how…
To Blogroll or Not To Blogroll?
…that is the question. After finding the IndieWeb community, I started thinking back to what blogging was years ago, old school blogging. Back then, blogrolls were a great way to find interesting blogs, and it was a great way to showcase the blogs you enjoyed reading. Before I ever wrote a blog post myself, I…

It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about seasons in nature, life, or even seasons of your favorite TV show. The fact that there is a beginning and an…
A Blooming Digital Garden
Recently, I discovered a concept that fascinates me: the digital garden, while reading this post about them. Digital Gardens are living websites (or, in my case, a blog post) that grow organically over time by linking notes and ideas together. A regular blog post is written, published, and more often than not, forgotten about. A…

100 Day Blogging Challenge: Shipping My Words (Because Apparently You’re Not a Mindreader…Yet)
Recently, I’ve been page-surfing on the Indieweb.org wiki, and a couple of days ago, I discovered the 100 Days Project page (100 day challenges). I immediately wanted to do one where I blog daily for 100 days to get me into a regular habit of posting. I struggle a lot with putting my work out…
The Online Manifestation of Your Ego
This blog post is an entry into the October 2025 IndieWeb Carnival on the topic of Ego, hosted by Bix. Ego isn’t a monster to be tamed; it’s the mechanism by which we regulate our sense of self. It’s that little whisper that helps us determine our importance, our place in the world, our identity.…
