Based on this post, I'm trying to add some fun to my year as well. Can you help me brainstorm some good ideas? I'm considering 50 fancy deserts, or 50 coffee dates, or 50 new drink flavors. Hit reply and let me know what fun thing I could try to get 50 of this year! Interested in Elevating your writing?I've had a fellow faculty member reach out about scheduling a writing retreat this semester. Would you be interested? Tentatively, it would be Wednesday evening through Sunday lunch. I haven't locked in a location or dates yet. I'm thinking Mid-March (maybe March 19-23).

PS: As a reminder, I'm a human who loves to read your messages. So, feel free to shoot me a message and let me know your word of the year, your goals, your 50 fun things, or your writing retreat ideas!
