dear kindred friend,
Physically I am in 2024 and mentally I am in 2023. Because our family was traveling when the 2024 new year began, I decided to wait to reflect on 2023 until we returned. Which, in theory, was a great idea. And in practice, did afford me more space (physical and mental) to actually think through […]
Happy 2024 and Happy New Years! Well, almost. Before we look at 2024, we need to take our final looks at 2023. It’s tempting to brush off a past year and move on to something new and fresh. New and fresh often brings with it new hope. Something we tend to all itch for come […]
“What are you thankful for this year?” A question most of us will be asked sometime this Thanksgiving or holiday season. Something most of us will answer simply, basically or funnily. I mean, is there a more quintessential Thanksgiving dinner question? But if it’s not for the holiday table social pressure or for the aesthetics […]
What does gifting well and good in the 2023 holiday season look like? Or another way to ask is: how do I gift in such a way that does good for both the loved ones I’m shopping for and good for the planet? Good for loved ones meaning that the gifts I’m buying are thoughtful […]

Back in college, a friend shared a phrase her mom liked to say: you are a human being not a human doing. The impact of hearing that was like getting a brain freeze – stopping me in my thoughts then and now (thankfully unlike a brain freeze does). As someone who has always struggled with […]
We’ve got a big announcement for you, and it’s right in the title itself. From the beginning of the existence of the planner and this business, it was (and has always been) about one thing: human being not human doing. Helping individuals know that they are worthy. Period, as is, nothing more to be seen […]
Reflections
At the end of every month we write a reflection blog post that correlates with the reflection questions in the Kindred Planner.
Consider this your invitation to reflect along with us, coffee (or tea) in one hand and Kindred Planner (or journal) in the other.
