Welcome to my Now Page, inspired by nownownow.com.
This is where I share what I’m currently focused on, what I’m learning, and what’s shaping my world right now.

🌍 Life and Work

I am living in Durrës, Albania, building a life and body of work around community, belonging, participation, and thoughtful growth.

Living across cultures continues to shape how I understand home, identity, and the human need to belong. I document parts of that journey at Mary in the Balkans.

🧩 What I Am Building

My main focus is HDY Haus, built around a simple philosophy: Live well. Build well.

HDY Haus now has a physical home in Durrës. The studio is a place for working, learning, reading, conversations, community experiences, and bringing thoughtful people together.

I am learning what it takes to build a space that is useful commercially while still feeling human, welcoming, and rooted in its local community.

💡 Community Strategy

I work across technology, community, and digital strategy.

I currently help organisations think beyond launching another group or platform. My work focuses on the systems that help people participate, contribute, feel heard, and develop a genuine sense of belonging.

I am particularly interested in:

  • Building community infrastructure that organisations can own
  • Designing better paths from audience to participation
  • Creating useful community education and resources
  • Helping online and physical spaces feel more intentional
  • Exploring how technology and AI can make small teams more effective without removing the human element

🛠️ What I Am Learning and Making

Right now, I am following my curiosity through a mixture of writing, community experiments, WordPress projects, and small digital products.

I am also returning to building practical, single-purpose WordPress tools. I recently published my first plugin in the WordPress plugin directory and continue to explore how AI can help us build and work more efficiently.

You can follow what I am learning and making on the Mary Job blog.

📖 My Book ❤️ ❤️

I published my first book, Tell Me Your Story, Mama.

It is a guided memory journal designed to help mothers share their memories, experiences, lessons, and reflections in their own words.

I am also passionate about helping people become confident, clear, and effective writers.

So, I teach practical writing skills that students can use in real life, whether for work, school, business, content creation, or everyday communication on Preply.

I believe good writing should sound natural, engaging, and easy for people to connect with.
