Winter’s End

As winter’s end nears, I’m getting excited about spring’s arrival. The new year has been busy but productive, and I look forward to spending more time out in nature, in both the woods and my writing room.

I began the first of two 2026 writing projects, entitled ECHOES | Letters To My Younger Self. Last week, I released my first essay, Finding Your Path, which is available to read on my website, Substack, and Medium. This week, I outlined the second essay, Know Thyself.

ECHOES | Letters To My Younger Self is a writing series where I sit down to write letters to a younger me, passing on important lessons and warnings that I wished I had learned sooner. This project has been more fun, rewarding, and contemplative than I expected, and I’d encourage you to sit down and write at least one long letter to your younger self.

I hope your February is going well and that you and yours are happy, healthy, and safe. I’ll talk to you when spring arrives.
