sempervirens — forest for the trees
Here’s what I know. I will grow where I am. I will reach for the sun. I will lock my roots with others, deep underground. I will share what I have. I will receive help. I will be in community. I will be here.
Daniel Nesbit, one of my favorite writers, is back.
King cake in the oven. Rebirth Brass on the speakers. Must be Mardi Gras!

March Forth
Today is one of my wife’s favorite days on the calendar, She likes it because March 4th is also a command, a call to action; March forth!
Two of my favorite writers recently wrote about thinking seasonally and using March as a starting point for the real action of the year.
The calendar year starts, and you make plans. You set goals. You even build routines that feel solid. But somehow, it still doesn’t feel like the year has fully started.
That’s because January is a test. February is a warm-up. March? That’s the real beginning.
January feels like the start of the year, but there’s always a hangover from the holidays. In the northern Hemisphere, February is dark and dreary and we’re mostly hunkering down waiting for the short month to end.
But March? Around the world, March can be a chance to get down to the work we committed to do.
I read both of these following a great session of home repair project planning for the coming Spring with my wife. All of this within 24 hours of each other. It felt like the universe was trying to tell me something…
So, I’m going to use this month to continue to, um, march forth on the goals I’ve set for the year.
Perfect.
My Five Top Women Role Models (plus one!)
My wife, on the women who’ve made a true impact on her life.
After years of no change, both Shawn and I have recently updated and brought to current the What We Use page over at The Cramped.
Today is “back page update day” for me, apparently.
I updated my Now page including details on our upcoming trip to the Boston area. If you are in that area we’d love to see you.
