"I cannot build that" is becoming a very expensive sentence. I spent this morning building another simple WordPress plugin with Codex. Got surprisingly far, then hit my usage limit 😂 AI has shortened the distance between "I wonder if this could work?" & "Let me try." #LiveWellBuildWell #AI #HDYHaus

What if you never fit into one career box because you were never meant to? Some of us are meant to work across disciplines. We are generalists. Join us for International Generalist Day in Durrës on 16 September: luma.com/czp7ayij Day 12. #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus

Nothing was made today. It was a difficult day, and getting through it took what energy I had. Not every day produces something presentable. Sometimes, you simply make it to tomorrow. Day 11. #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus

Sometimes, the teacher you need is beside you. Yesterday, my daughter taught me how to record a dance with a trending sound. It was simple, but learning from her gave us a moment Google could not. What has a younger person taught you? Day 9. #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus

Ever feel surrounded by people, yet have nowhere you truly belong? You can join several groups and still feel unseen. I rebuilt Mary’s Circle around that need: an intentional space for meaningful connection. Day 8: maryjob.com/circle/ #HDYHaus #CommunityBelonging #LiveWellBuildWell

I rebuilt two websites in minutes without leaving #WordPress. Shahmir demonstrated WPOS and invited me to test it. AI turned my prompts into pages inside WordPress. The ecosystem is still building, evolving, and sharing. WP is not doomed. Day 7. #AI #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus

I almost built the wrong community today. "Community building" sounded like a space for people who manage communities. But everyone needs community belonging. So I repositioned my Circle around belonging and participation. Day 6: maryjob.com/circle/ #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus

Today, I allowed myself to do less. I rested, spoke with a friend who made space for me, then showed up for another. Community belonging is also pausing while showing up for people who show up for you. Day 5. #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus

My first WordPress plugin is live on WordPress.org. @tubiz.bsky.social, a veteran in the plugin industry, backed me through the process. Community belonging is people helping us cross new thresholds. Day 4: wordpress.org/plugins/hdy-... #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus #WordPress

I thought limoncello was meant to open your palate. It turns out it is traditionally enjoyed after a meal. I learned about it through friends. A reminder that community belonging often grows through the things we share. Day 3. #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus #Limoncello

10,000 emails for as little as about $1? I explored how to reach nearly 80,000 users affordably. The answer: Listmonk with Amazon SES. Have you found a better alternative? Day 2 of learning and making in public. #OpenSource #Listmonk #LiveWellBuildWell #HDYHaus

If you had 15 days to follow your curiosity, what would you make or learn? Today, I am beginning 15 Days of Learning and Making in Public. No complicated rules. Just 15 days of learning, making, testing, and sharing whatever interests me. Day 1 begins here. #LiveWellBuildWell

I did not move to #Albania to become a travel creator. That sentence became my latest blog post. If you have ever started over somewhere new, I think you will relate. 👇 journeywithmojisola.com/2026/07/i-di...

Honored to have my Contributor Day story highlighted by WordCamp Asia 2026. Community work truly matters. asia.wordcamp.org/2026/mary-... #OpenSource #WordPress #TechCommunities #DigitalInclusion

Community structure is not control. It is care. Without structure, communities rely on goodwill alone. And goodwill eventually runs out. Care scales through clarity, shared leadership, and systems. #communitystrategy

Sustainable leadership isn’t loud — it’s intentional. Years of stewarding communities taught me: systems over heroics, belonging over ego, people over platforms. More reflections on community leadership → maryjob.com/blog #MaryJob #CommunityNotes
