March 2023 Monthly Wrap-Up
March was full of lots of ups and downs. Highs and lows. Good and bad. And… I don’t really know what else to say about this month. I feel like that kind of sums it up. Basically I’m getting constant whiplash from all the back and forth. Here’s a massive photo dump of it all…
This month I’m…
Reading: The Edge of Summer, Erica George. Roller Skates, Ruth Sawyer. Missing May, Cynthia Rylant. The Unexpected Everything, Morgan Matson (reread).

Watching: YouTube–Madison Strong, Finn Whitaker, Jordan Bauth, The Frey Life. Movies–My Octopus Teacher (documentary). TV shows–Shadow & Bone season two.
Writing: Outside of work (where I somehow made a ton of money), this month I did my usual volunteering with People Hope and the Diamonds Conference, as well as writing songs and working on my current novel, This One Is True (although it’s sadly pretty slow going). I also did another paid feeding tube study; did a PR interview with my music studio; and filmed a week in my life vlog, which you can find here on my YouTube channel if you want to watch. I wrote secret blog stuff and got a jump start on Escapril, too.
Grateful for: Faraway friends sending me flower deliveries. Voice lessons that double as therapy. Spring in the valley. Finally getting a much needed delayed prescription. A client randomly raising my rate because they like my work. My CPA saying how much she’s seen my business grow. LinkedIn recommendations. The feeling of bare feet in the sun. Fresh sheets. Being able to put things into words. Trying something new. Windows down weather. Free wine. Successfully getting concert tickets.
What did you do in March? I find that I’m always very happy to see April come around!
