I recently got awarded TOP creativity and innovation voice on LinkedIn. Yeah, it’s a thing. Between you, me and the gate post, I don’t place much stock in it because I suspect LinkedIn is trying to harness some meaningful engagement. While it doesn’t pay any bills, it does give me a lightbulb mark (seriously!) beside […]
I am squirreled away writing up a storm. Could be around 25,000 words. Not even halfway yet. And as you would expect, ChatGPT forms no part of my ideations. Thought I’d share with you the first draft of one of the sections somewhere in the middle. Rest is NOT for sissies. My husband and I […]
It’s finally summer, and it feels so good, doesn’t it? I call it the wonder of summer. In my neck of the woods, all of nature is stunningly beautiful; the birds are both incredibly varied and noisy, the beautiful insects have landed, the outdoor concerts have begun, and every person we bump into has a […]
This month, June, is kinda fun for me. Lots of reasons why. Let me share just one. Carbon Measuring. A few months ago, one of my podcast listeners reached out and told me about a radio show and suggested I listen to it. Not only did I listen to it, I then reached out and […]
Wheat? Whaaat? This is a two-part piece. Frankly, it’s a bit too long and heavy for the usual Sunday opinion pieces. However, the lessons learned deserve to be told – especially if you notice anyone in your circle with similar signs. In early January of this year, I answered yes to nearly every question about […]
So excited to share this with you. Recently, I could feel the winds finally begin to shift. My head was filled with accolades; my podcast was beginning to gain traction, and my energy to do more was amped up! Let me back up a bit. There are several ways to build a business. For example, […]
Sitting and thinking about all the different things to write for your Sunday morning read is such a gift. And it is a delight to carve out something that might cause you to pause. This week, someone paused ME. They asked me to tell them concretely what it means to change your thinking. For the […]
What were you like when you were twenty or even twenty-five? Do you remember? I was confident and brash. I had no idea what would happen in my life, but I knew it would be ginormous. No one would get in my way of showing the world I had swagger, was bright and would one […]
When was the last time you looked at your holidays? NOT the vacation allotment. The statutory holidays? Recently in the west, some of us celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with green beer, leprechauns and chocolate pots of gold. I had to visit four grocery stores before I finally found the brisket! All that running around made […]
Have you noticed it’s the always about the little things? Last week, I had a late-in-the-day Zoom appointment with a gent in the US. I waited a decent length of time, and still, he did not show. Truthfully, I admit to needing to find the time to catch up on ‘Zoom etiquette for lateness.’ Instead, […]
