Life
For most of my life I’ve looked at life (and particularly my work) and felt I was on a journey to the summit do a Mountain. It was fun to conquer my mountains. Or at least the hike up to those summits were most fun. That was my first half. In my second half, instead…
I have idealistic and perfectionistic tendencies. It’s something I’m working on, with my coach and outside of that conversation, consistently as it’s held me back in many ways. I end up overthinking, overcomplicating projects or goals and then not doing them or falling well short of them. I compare my measly efforts to the perfect…
YOU.You do.YOU emerge … in some new way.I don’t like the storms while I’m in it … in fact I kick and scream at them, moan and groan.But every time, I find something new about myself that I love, appreciate, cherish.
One of my favorite quotes from my early life was: The happiest people in the world don’t necessarily have the best of things, they make the best of things. I’ve been reflecting on that much more in this whole pandemic. The virus and its health impact are one thing. But the side effects of it…

Last weekend, I went on a quick but epic roadtrip with my youngest brother, Matt. On short notice I needed (and let’s be honest, wanted) someone to go with me to our New Mexico cabin (about a 9-hour drive each way) starting on Friday night and getting back on Sunday night. Matt and I are seven years apart…
In honor of International Women’s Day, I reflected on all the women who have made an impact and difference in my life and wanted to share and thank them here.
