OK, I've written before about this being an aspiration and I feel the time has come... As of this weekend, I'm "coming out" again by attaching this blog, warts and all, to my LinkedIn profile. Do I expect this action to make an enormous splash? Of course not. I have some occasional interactions through that …

To Post or Not to Post, That is the Question
It has been a week, dear readers. After last week's post about cousin Julie, I've struggled to put together the time to gather any thoughts about another of the topics I normally blather on about. I have many thoughts, but they are jumbled and fleeting, and yet they also won't go away. So here I …

Oh, You Thought I was Here for a JOB?
I listened to a podcast the other day where I heard about how people think of the work they do in one of three categories: a job, a career or a calling. Just to give proper attribution (and because I actually REMEMBER where I heard it), this was on an episode of Kelly Corrigan's amazing …
The End of an Era?
Starting tomorrow morning, after 16 months, my husband will be going back to commuting to work in his office full time. This is going to be a bittersweet transition for both of us. When the pandemic began in March 2020, he was in no way prepared to work from home. It took adjustments and compromises …
On Break
As of last Monday, I am taking a two-week leave of absence from my job. This leave is a result of the building stress I have been experiencing which has resulted in physical symptoms including loss of visual acuity, elevated blood pressure and greater-than-normal sleep disturbances. This stress is not entirely work-related, but the part …
My 100th Post 🌟💯🥂
When I started this blog in April of 2020, we were all just beginning to figure out what it meant to be living in a pandemic. In America, we had an aspiring fascist for a president and an election on the horizon that was one major test of whether the country was going to persist …
Don’t Be an Asshole
OK, soapbox time. I am REALLY tired of people not listening, not respecting and generally tending to assume the worst intentions of ANYONE who has a different opinion than they do and who dares to speak it. This is bullshit and it has to stop. Here is the truth. Nobody has all the same opinions/thoughts …
Myopia
I've been thinking a lot lately about how we, as individual human beings, can contribute to the healing of our society. It should be clear to everyone at this point that humanity has a list of existential crises that we have known about for more or less time. These situations have not yet been addressed …
Balls in the Air
I wanted to make sure I got something published, just to make sure you all didn't think I had dropped off the earth or anything. The truth is, there are a ton of things "in the works" right now and I'm not really at liberty to reveal any of them yet. I have been busy, …
Is Growth Inevitable?
In many different contexts, it seems as if things are continually increasing, rising, expanding or growing. We are told the universe grows as though the galaxies are placed on the outside of a balloon that is being blown up indefinitely (until it pops?). We are also told that if you are able to save even …
