dear kindred friend,
I turned 30 last month and it felt right. Which mind you, was not how I thought turning thirty would feel. All throughout my twenties, I lived and worked with an aspiration to enter my thirties with deep self confidence, a newly thriving career, a settled mental and physical balance of work-life-family-etc., a family, an […]
I have a confession. In April I jumped on a call with this guy named Jake and Jake, along with his coworker Stephanie, offered Kindred a huge opportunity to take Kindred to a whole new level. An opportunity that would open doors to huge brand names like Paper Source, Uncommon Goods, Barnes & Noble, etc. […]
Ever have that moment when you’ve found an outdated planner you totally forgot about? Or when you rediscovered a planner you only used for one month? Or maybe you’re curious to start using a planner, but now they’re all outdated, or you’re going to be missing four months of the year? Or maybe you want […]

For me this looks like not checking work emails on Saturdays, not checking work related items before 7AM, and ending work tasks by 5PM. At the beginning of February, […]
Perhaps best of all, we passed the (virtual) baton of encouragement around and took turns hoping on each other’s behalf…
While the year was difficult, I would dare 2020 and COVID and anything else to try and change the spirit of the holiday season. There are definitely changes needed – smaller gatherings, more snail mail (my fave), an acknowledgement of the challenges and losses of the year, etc. But there is still joy.
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.
