Phew! That 2027 Sterling Ink was a rush! I grabbed the A5 Common Vertical half year for work. Anyone used this layout before? I keeping my personal life in an A6 Creffectivepaper daily notebook with a custom cover with a commonplace insert.

My game view 😍 so nice to watch football while also watching butterflies and birds in the backyard. It’s the whimsy for me

Traveling today and thinking about how we used to power through on road trips. Now, with a toddler, we proactively make stops. It seems like it would put us so much further behind, but it doesn’t, AND we enjoy the ride way more.

Finished the day before our book club meeting (so proud of myself!!) and gosh, I love a book with a magical garden that touches on grief and growing through it.

This month’s romance book club pick. We read an Ashley Poston in a previous “semester,” but I wasn’t a fan. Then, I read The Seven Year Slip and LOVED it! *I’m a magical realism girlie, for sure.* So far, I am enjoying The Someday Garden and it reminds me of the magical whimsy of TSYS. ✨

As soon as I thought I was over the hobonichi weeks mega, I figured out a way to use it that I am LOVING!! Thought I would abandon it for 2027, but I’m sucked right back in. 🤗

Halfway through the year and have to confess that my plan for my journal ecosystem went off the rails immediately. I was so prepared for my first year using hobonichi and lost my job on January 2nd. I worked hard as a consultant while finding the job I started on 4/13.

Moving Bravely today is trying to give myself the same attention I hand out so easily to everyone else. I show up for my team, my family, my friends without thinking. Turning some of that care back toward myself is the part I’m still learning.

lauren mcglamery @laurenmcglamery.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Moving Bravely today looked like showing up for week 8 of the same program. Same exercises, varying loads. We’re taught to crave newness, to always mix it up. But the sameness is the point for me.

lauren mcglamery @laurenmcglamery.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Moving Bravely today looks like starting something small again. I used to write my next day out every night, one page, just to close out today and be ready for the next one. I let the habit go somewhere in the chaos of pregnancy and postpartum.

Nobody tells you that grief keeps you reaching for the phone to call your person. I had a conversation the other week that I walked away from proud of myself, proud of how I handled it, and for half a second she was the first person I wanted to tell, because she’d have been the proudest.

Consistency in one place is how I navigate the uncertainty in every other place. Week 8 of the same program this week. Same movements, varying load. I used to think repetition was boring. Now I know it’s an anchor. Life is unpredictable enough.

I walked in exhausted, but my brain would not stop. And it wasn’t stress. It was all the good stuff. Dreaming, planning, building things in my head, everything at once, everything all the time.

I walked in exhausted but my brain would not stop. Planning, dreaming, ruminating, everything all at once. Counterintuitive to go work out when you’re already tired, I know. But here’s what it does for me: it turns the noise off

I’ve been quiet here for a while. Not because nothing happened, but because everything did. I became a mother. I kept living the exact thing my account was supposed to be about, & I lost the words for a bit. I’m picking them back up. Not finished, not sure, just ready to say things out loud again.

It’s finally sinking in that my mom would’ve been 65 this coming Monday. I took the day off and have no idea what I’ll do with the day yet, but very much looking forward to a slow, present day.

I’ve journaled first thing the past three days in a row. It has been a looooong time since I’ve done that. One page in my A6 notebook, but my pen hit the page and that is so valuable and meaningful.

Everything about the moon mission has inspired me. Seeing women leading the way reminded me of what we are capable of if we put the right people in the right seats.

While I was job hunting, I made sure to take time to learn a new skill. I took a sewing class and made this bag. In times of transition and unknowns, I’ve learned to turn to curiosity abs learning to help me stay optimistic and feel accomplished.

my heart is breaking for our world, but I am here with son who just got home from daycare and immediately grabbed his puzzles and wanted animal crackers. such whiplash from collective joy yesterday during the moon mission to collective despair and rage today.

Taking down the banner. Three months of unexpectedly exploring possibilities, having honest conversations, and betting on myself. Contracts, projects, relationships helped me keep my head up. Now, a new chapter I am really excited about. More soon. But first, gratitude. So much of it.

Hello, 2026. This year isn’t beginning with urgency and reactivity. It's beginning with space and intention. After a year of consolidation, building, and constant motion, I’m stepping into 2026 with intention: ✨ sharpening my skills, ✨ protecting creative time, ✨ trusting my point of view.

“How dare you! All of you! How dare you bicker over our lives and freedom! You treat us as livestock but you’re not even good shepherds!” Hate this is more relevant than ever a comic I got 2 years ago [Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons]
