I mentioned in last week's goal renewal post that renovation progress at #L2HQ is high priority this year because I've hit the line in the metaphorical construction sand of my ability to be able to handle consistent dust. The good news is that...
I'm not entirely certain where 2017 went, but by the end of it, I was glad it had left. What started out as a super fun year: second AREsketches book published, winning of the Young Architect Award, some travel, and some #L2HQ projects...
I watched The Little Prince over the weekend and the movie keeps coming back to mind. When I'm working. When I'm walking the dogs. When I'm thinking of all the choices I have to make: for my career, for the house, for my happiness. Note: This is...
