Loss is a side-effect of living with love. This is for those we have lost and those who feel those losses. Let the pieces fall where they may. Austin, Luca, Len, and Josh: this is for you. https://t.co/Pj1xlzs3eZ

It's been a little while, but I've got a BIG life update for you all! I hope you're ready to come with on this next journey; I think it'll be a challenging, but fun one. https://t.co/oaDM7NpDjA

Now that semester and quarter system schools have celebrated their grads, there are a few other people who have something to celebrate too. You probably have more to with this than you realize, think about it... It's been a long year, hasn't it? https://t.co/bE714rvT1d

We have all developed new habits during the pandemic, from starting home workout routines to making time to wind down at night. But I wonder, if we all had to start going back to "normal", what from your new routines would you keep? Think about it: https://t.co/9jvHQheNmT

When it comes to my birthday, I am all for the "let them eat cake" philosophy and this year, it was even more important to follow through on. It was a busy day of packing, some homework, and quality family time. But don't worry, I got my cake... https://t.co/nePVTBdVLm

A lot of us live busy and fast-paced lives that don't offer a lot of time to slow down... Not unless we build that time in for ourselves. I'm only just starting to learn how to do it but this week, I realized just how necessary it was. https://t.co/8ANgUNSquu

A great week for big news in my family for a few people. But does big news and the steps that come with involve a whole lot of other emotions? Maybe. Does that make it any less exciting? I'd like to think it doesn't. What do you think? https://t.co/yXr8fCH3yH

After a long week of loss and reckoning within many Asian communities, I'm unpacking a bit. What has happened, how does history account for it, how may we have a part to play, where do we go from here, and what can we do?
Let's talk. https://t.co/qlZnaNjFd6

I'm closing out Black History Month with some food for thought on a college experience of mine that I didn't realize wasn't so singular. Maybe you can relate, I met a lot of great people these past two weeks who could. And it really got me thinking... https://t.co/oEBgAnX3tx

They say a book is better than a movie, but what about a Netflix series? If you've read Kristin Hannah's books, you've probably read Firefly Lane. But have you watched the show? Well you're in luck, because I have! Now, for the book AND and show review... https://t.co/Ea6pWZcZ68

[Karina Williams @KWilliamsbooks]

This has been on my mind for Black History Month, the idea that the culture's celebration or recognition might be changing. Hear me out: if you always consider black in terms of whiteness, what happens after removing one? What about everything in between? https://t.co/aqMP83QlZg

Here's a quick story about my week that I hope might make you smile. Either that or I hope it can be a reminder to pause for a moment and appreciate that you've made it to the weekend. That counts for a lot. Happy Friday! https://t.co/bcBr5V7pxU

Every new week comes with new cool things to learn, and I've even got a few questions I'm hoping you'll answer for me. Don't worry, they're fun ones! https://t.co/zEyTol2cur

It's a new year, but we're still looking at a lot of the same things we were last year. That being said, we've all grown a whole lot too, don't you think? That means our ways of finding balance in this new year also have: Here are three big examples. https://t.co/BJNQxp7bQB

I'm doing something new this year, something different that I feel like we could all use. After all, our lives should be lived as a story, not a novel... I'll explain. https://t.co/J6wbPdpqEG

I'm talking about the holidays this week and I am not just doing it through my own words this time-- I'm doing it through three fun holiday commercials. A little bit of funny and a little bit of tradition, all good messaging. Check it out. https://t.co/IASNemXHRi

[Karina Williams @KWilliamsbooks]

It's hard to find a balance of time and money well spent during the holidays, especially this year with so many factors to consider. But there might be a way to seek out a middle ground to it all... think about it. https://t.co/WaoJo0TpwI

[Karina Williams @KWilliamsbooks]

As we approach Thanksgiving, there are still some ways to give back to our communities whether you're trying to get out or do it from home. Volunteerism should be accessible; right now, it is also vital to the our wellbeing. Check it out. https://t.co/zuvAP2gaGE

If you need a quick break from this week's election hubub here's some humor for you. After all, I know many people have been incredibly tuned in this week and I think it's a good time to take a quick break if you haven't already. Why nor? https://t.co/EZSbCkX0XU

[Karina Williams @KWilliamsbooks]
