What I’m Up To: August 2026


Since I’ve been trying to be better about sharing the process instead of just the product, here’s my latest 3×3.

1. Monthly updates:

  1. Back to running, biking, and soccer!
  2. Podcast 2.0 is in full swing!!
  3. New site nav and layout!!!

2. Primary focus areas:

  1. Prepping the manuscript for editing.
  2. Planning for life after the MAP Year Project (gulp).
  3. Tagging all posts in the archive for the new site sections.

3. What I’m currently reading:

  1. Wool by Hugh Howey.
  2. Buckeye by Patrick Ryan.
  3. Chapter 12 of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
    (for the MAP Year Project).
