Clean and simple design.

Coming soon, a simple follow up to my current leather fountain pen case. This one is designed for a single pen with dimensions up to 5.82” x .61”.

1. Remembering who the heck I am
2. My daily journaling practice
3. Sun is shining today!

I don’t have a goal page or word count, but I do write until there is nothing left to say.

1. Excellent sleep.
2. Played uno with Mozzie last night.
3. Brain is all over the place this morning.

I’m a firm believer that we do not have ideas but are given ideas. Ideas are gifts for us to use.

1. A good weekend with Mozzie
2. Outdoor activities being a bit more enjoyable with the warming temperatures (except today, today was back to being cold 😂)
3. Monday. Start to a fresh week. New Opportunities and challenges await!

I became a turtle, not that there is anything wrong with turtles, but I never actually envisioned living my life in a shell.

Star, a beautiful St. Bernard puppy.

1. Up at 6am today, thanks to going to sleep when I was tired last night and Mozzie tapping me awake this morning before my 6:30 alarm.
2. Being capable…
3. …but aware of my weaknesses

😊 Today was a good day.

Fresh batch of these leather oven mitts heading to the farmers market tomorrow.

1. Short bike ride yesterday, first of the year, first of many more to come!
2. Accepting the challenge, taking it head on.
3. How very little control (of life) I actually have.

⛈️ Late night storm!

Man. Not sure what’s going on today. Trying to look at it as “challenging” instead of lots of negative stuff.

🚶 Getting out for a walk before it doesn't happen!

Feeling: Lonely.

And a bit vulnerable by sharing this. I’m pretty much an open book about life, the ups and downs, especially as it relates to my fairly recent divorce, but sharing how all of the life stuff impacts me is something I don’t typically get into.

• No screens after dinner was a success!
• Will be selling my leather oven mitts at a local farmers market beginning this weekend!
• My sleep schedule for the last few weeks has been phenomenal.

Dinner is time as a family, everyone stays put until everyone is finished eating.

🖥️ I need a day, a full uninterrupted day, to sit with my leather website and just page through the thing. Read every word. Look at every photo, page, and product listing. Act on ideas as I have them. Edit and rebuild as I go.

Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes!
