I took a blogger break for a bit, but I've been keeping up with my monthly resolution work.
I've managed to stay on point for the most part. I'm back today with an update on how
things are going. I massaged my fourth goal to fit better with life -- gotta evolve to stay
relevant!

make me feel like me.

June: Practice doing a 5K (mostly walking) -- done
July: Find a fun, part-time job -- done
August: Do a simple sewing machine project -- oops!

October: Put myself out there to find more work in my field -- done

worthy.
