My 2026 Plan on Friday, February 13th
I really don’t have much of a plan for this year. In fact, I am unsure what I had for the yearexcept for my reading goal. I need to slow down, and that’s for sure. I am stressed; I am thinking too much about people; I don’t know what in the world to do about most...
Ramen for Lunch
I'll add the recipe in a bit... but made this for lunch today. This is only ramen. I added dried vegetables and cooked them together. No spices, then separately cooked green peas, French cut green beans, mild diced tomatoes, and seaweed. I cooked this only with a bit...
“Stick & Stay” “Keep Coming Back” “I Wish You a Slow Recovery”
These are all of the things we hear. It be every day, or all of the time, or sometimes, or maybe even far too often. In today’s meeting at my Home Group, I hear from Page 89, Chapter 7, and “Working With Others.” I have never been good at this specific paragraph, but...
Audio: The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
I read this in the 9th grade, and finished it again today. It is in the public domain, as are all Robert Louis Stevenson books/stories. It is the only reason we can share it here. This is an audio I created of it. Over 2 hours, but certainly worth listening to. The...

A Sweet Halva Rice Cake Treat
This is one of those quietly amazing snacks—simple, a little indulgent, and perfectly balanced. Light crunch, creamy center, and just enough nuttiness to keep it grounded. Ingredients 1 plain rice cake 1–2 teaspoons sweetened condensed coconut milk (vegan) 1–2...
Today and Focusing
I will start this entry precisely by saying, "Today, I will practice focusing on my life by focusing on myself." The first thing I need to make sure I do is keep myself separate from others. By that, I only mean outside of others' space. First and foremost, it does...

It emphasizes the importance of creating time rather than merely managing it, advocating for intentional choices that prioritize genuine pursuits over obligations and distractions to achieve a fuller, more satisfying life.
