Who Is Up For Another Fresh Start?

This week has been a whirlwind, and honestly, that seems to be the theme of my entire year. 

How is it almost July already? Time, as always, is sprinting ahead while I try to catch up. 

It’s been a mixed bag on the work front. I haven’t landed any major gigs yet, and I’ll admit that’s weighed on me. But that isn’t the whole story. I do have some small assignments lined up, but nothing life-changing in pay or reach, but it’s something. 

And right now, something is a win. A reminder that momentum often starts with small steps. 

I’m also realizing how many of my creative goals have slipped through the cracks lately. I haven’t seen a single 2025 movie yet (so much for keeping up with new releases), the podcast has been sporadic at best, and this site hasn’t quite followed the path I imagined at the start of the year. 

On top of that, my efforts to focus on mental health strategies have felt scattered. It’s hard sometimes to know if I’m making real progress or just treading water.  I do believe in progress, even the slow kind. 

That’s why fresh starts matter. They give us permission to pause, reset, and try again. And as we head into July, that’s exactly what I’m doing: aiming for small wins, creative sparks, and a little more kindness toward myself. 

Here’s to fresh starts. Here’s to getting there.
