In 2026 I'd like to build consistency into my community-member focused blog writing habit and benefit from the good feeling of getting stuff out of my head and onto digital paper.

In 2026 I'd like to help more people create the time and space to focus on their professional development and the professional development of people around them.

These goals are a start and I'm sure more will articulate themselves throughout the year.
