Professional Pathway
Professional Pathway Intentions is an outline for the professional work I currently do and that which I hope to bring into my life. On a practical level, I hope to have a webpage that highlights each of these points and articulates my relationship to that skill or product.

Personal
Personal Pathway Intentions functions as a reminder of the key components I hope to maintain in my life in the coming year outside of my professional life. I use this space largely as a reminder to attend to my emotional, spiritual, physical, artistic and mental pursuits beyond my professional life. I am lucky in that I have designed my professional life to include artistry, physicality, intellectual pursuits and emotional and spiritual awareness. So the large bullet points are really just a reminder for me of what is truly important for me currently.
