What do you listen to while you work? If I’m at home and doing something like writing, reading, or knitting, I tend to jump between listening to instrumental scores (like Oppenheimer or Dune) or bands that I know really well (like Blue October). If I’m at work, I typically will play fun music on myContinue reading “Daily Prompt: Music While Working”

Daily Prompt: What do I wish I could do more of every day?
What do you wish you could do more every day? I really want to get better about writing more. Lately, because of work and anxiety, I don’t feel like I can just jot down my thoughts quite as freely. It’s silly; I’ve dealt with writer’s block before. I’ve had fears that I’m not going toContinue reading “Daily Prompt: What do I wish I could do more of every day?”
Day One Prompt: What do you enjoy most about writing?
What do you enjoy most about writing? Recently, I started a new bullet journal. I left out a lot of the tedious, more artistic spreads (like the calendar, habit tracker, level 10 life, mood tracker) that I already have on my phone. I kept the brain dump (where I list my wants, needs, and thingsContinue reading “Day One Prompt: What do you enjoy most about writing?”
Daily Prompt: What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
What is your favorite hobby or pastime? While I’m always excited to curl up with a book, I also enjoy knitting. This past weekend, (this was in the summer of 2023) my sister delivered the blanket I made for her friend’s wedding. The bride loved my gift! I’ve been knitting for a long time–roughly sinceContinue reading “Daily Prompt: What is your favorite hobby or pastime?”

What countries do you want to visit? I just want to see more of the world. I love going on vacation, and being outside in nature certainly improves my mood. Thanks for reading! – Meghan
Dinosaur
If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? If I could bring back just one dinosaur, I’d probably want to bring back the iguanodon. But I’d want to have it genetically modified so that it’s more the size of a dog. (They were huge in real life; a fully grown adultContinue reading “Dinosaur”
Nickname
What’s the story behind your nickname? Actually, it depends on where I am. At work, I go by “Meghan B.” We have like 4 or 5 different women named Meghan, all with different spellings, where I work. It can get confusing at times, especially if a team lead/co-worker just says, “Meghan, can you…?” My familyContinue reading “Nickname”
What are three objects you couldn’t live without?
If I’m being completely honest here, I can’t go anywhere without my phone. As someone who grew up with a landline, and did not want a cellphone as a young teen–I know, so weird now–I didn’t know how fortunate I’d be to have a cellular device. There have been way too many times that havingContinue reading “What are three objects you couldn’t live without?”
30 Amazing Things about entering your 30s!
Happiness is Relative On my personal Instagram account, I re-posted an infographic to my Insta story. The infographic gave examples of what it can feel like when you’re experiencing symptoms of depression. Abbie, my loving sister, almost immediately sent me a private message, asking if I was “doing okay” or if the information I hadContinue reading “30 Amazing Things about entering your 30s!”
The Golden Standard
Dear Bentley, I’ll never forget the day you came home for the first time. You were in a kennel; Bogan warily circled around the boxy object in the middle of our tiny kitchen. When you were let out, Boggie and you wagged tails and each got a sniff of each other. I was in highContinue reading “The Golden Standard”
9/11
I was only 10 years old when 9/11 happened. It started just like any other day: I got up, ate breakfast, and went to my elementary school. But when I got to my classroom, something was noticeably different: the TV was on. Something terrible was happening, something I didn’t quite fully grasp, but knew itContinue reading “9/11”
My Love for the German Language
Good evening, everyone! Over the past few years, I’ve discovered German metal bands, and they have fueled my passion for the German language. Rammstein has rock/electronic vibes, and writes powerful music you can jam out to in the car (or in your room). Eisbrecker writes with a little more nod to Germany’s dark history, withContinue reading “My Love for the German Language”
What do you need to know about yourself today so you can create your best self?
I snagged this journal prompt from the podcast “Writing Your Best Self”. I need to know that I am strong and brave. I’ve recently been in the hospital for an intestinal blockage and am on the mend! I’m doing so much better than I was last week, when I was admitted. I need to knowContinue reading “What do you need to know about yourself today so you can create your best self?”
I’m a Pear Shape Now, But a Happy Pear
I’ve always been a skinny girl. I say girl because lately as a woman, I’ve started gaining weight. One of my medications, which does cause weight gain, has done just that: caused me to put on some pounds. When I say some, I mean a steady rapid increase of 50 pounds.
Dear Reader
Hello, dear reader! What would you like to see more of from my blog posts? I know it’s a simple question, but one that you get to help me with. I’ve been writing this blog mostly for myself, without thinking about the most important person: You. You’re the reason why I keep writing, why I’mContinue reading “Dear Reader”
