MomAlong continues to be one of the best projects I have ever created. It is still entirely offered on Zoom, yet society has shifted.
So, I am re-dreaming about what MomAlong could be in addition to a high value community experience that makes creativity accessible. Ideally, I'd love for it to fall under the umbrella of a larger organization like a book store, birth centre, or library.

What's a Now Page? Click here.
My last 'now page' update mentioned that I'm re-committed to reading. Now NOW, I am really recommitted. I just became a librarian at my local library!
It's part-time, and in addition to delivering Baby Rhyme Time, I'm at the reference desk recommending reads, flipping pages, making displays. This job was unexpected and I look forward to how it alters my worldview.
What I'm into, right now
Work in Progress
Pursuing Fun
I read the power of fun this winter (Catherine Price), and it is still in my head. There is actual science behind fun and ways to make True Fun more likely to happen. Spoiler alert: it is hard to have fun if you have a cell phone on you. Distraction takes away the likelihood of fun.
I'm still jamming on guitar with my mom, anticipating camping trips, and writing about little everyday delights. But the fun-est has been a weekly walking group I started in my neighbourhood.
I'm slowly learning to invest. This is out of my comfort zone, but has been on my 'things to learn' list for at least five years. It feels good to finally have an account open, and to be getting skin in the game by investing small amounts.
Jane Fonda quote I can't get out of my head: "It is much more important to stay interested than to be interesting."
