Love the energy here! It’s inspiring to see you start 2025 with such focus and clarity. Your new blog header and content calendar are fantastic moves to stay organized and on track.
I’m also focused on setting clear goals and building a solid routine this week. I’ll be joining a few virtual events to connect and grow professionally.
This reminds me of the valuable lessons in Surah Kahf—patience, perseverance, and staying the course always bring rewards. Keep up the great work, and best of luck with your job search and content creation! For more timeless wisdom, check out surahkahf.com.

This week I'm working on my very first live production service...a URL shortener. Will only be used by me, of course. Writing a companion article about it for Shuttle, to help update some of their older content.
