Welcome to Dog-Ears

For most of my life, I could hold complex ideas with ease, but my working memory never kept pace with my reasoning. Thoughts came in quickly. They left just as fast. I needed ways to keep them still long enough to understand them.

I built habits to help myself along.
Lists.
Routines.
Annotations.
And dog-eared pages from the books that shaped me.

Those folded corners became reminders of ideas I wanted to revisit. They marked the passages that stirred something important, even if I did not yet know why.

This Journal series returns to those pages. Some come from books on education, psychology, theology, or leadership. Others come from novels, picture books, or the kinds of stories you pick up for fun and end up thinking about for years.

What matters is what those passages reveal now.
What they meant then.
What they might mean to you.

If any of these reflections spark something in you and you want guided support as you sort through your own next steps, I am here when you need me.
