dear kindred friend,
How long do you keep your Halloween and fall decorations up for? Do they last until the end of November and Thanksgiving? Or do you change everything over to the winter holiday season on November 1st? I love putting holiday season decor up as early as possible. But, our home represents the former, partially because […]
We have arrived at the newest edition of the Kindred Planner – the 2025 Kindred Planner. Almost. The fifth version of the Kindred Planner, and (in my totally unbiased opinion) the best yet. Why? Because every year, I have learned something new about the business and this product. I have learned what has and hasn’t […]
As I’ve watched the 2024 Paris Olympics, I’ve wondered at the athletes’ mental strength. In particular the gymnasts for whom every move matters. I’ve wondered at the resilience it takes to mess up mid routine and to fight for the rest to be perfect (or near perfect). I am someone who is more prone to […]
One of my pet peeves is when people “over-meanify” things. What I mean by that is when something happens, for some people there’s always a deep inner child root issue to why I responded the way I did in a moment. Or the reason I chose those particular pair of jeans at that random moment […]

Because love is more than the commonly understood version of romantic love, like the kind we see in rom […]
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 […]
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.
