Sabine Emden | Now

My main focus is on expanding my project management skills with Google Project Management: Professional Certificate, a series of seven courses on the online learning platform Coursera. I'm working on the fourth course, Project Execution: Running the Project.

My personal website is my side project. I extended Small Web September into October to reach my goal of publishing two articles.

My current fitness goal is a three-day hike on the Moselsteig Trail in mid October. To train for it, I run, walk, hike, and do Pilates to work on my core strength.

As a creative outlet, I'm learning punch needle, a type of embroidery or rug making where a hollow needle is punched repeatedly into a piece of woven fabric to create tightly packed loops that are held together by tension. It is surprisingly cathartic and relaxing to stab something repeatedly!

In my mindfulness practice, my focus is on self-compassion and loving-kindness meditation. I'm working with the book The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion by Christopher Germer.
