What mysteries of life unfold in my kitchen on this fall winter night. I decided to go get my mail. It’s 2:43 a.m. Whatever. So I get my mail, see a package and open it. In it was something I ordered (duh, no surprises there), but the sender has also included something else: a smidge…

Oh, oh, oh. There was a time, there was a moment, when my life focus was local-local-local. I created a local blog hub with hundreds of local bloggers listed; held monthly parties for bloggers and their readers; made spreadsheets of local hashtags to use for social media; and truly--truly--tried to juice up and liven up…

When gathering a large group of folk dressed in Santa-inspired attire, leading them on a suburban walkabout for many hours and trying to coordinate arrivals and meetups for a multi-hour, multi-location event, one needs good communication, details galore, links a plenty ... and some cute images, too.

I saw two owls in two days: one Friday night and one Saturday evening! And I saw them in completely different locations. I occasionally hear owls (especially the bard owls), but this past weekend, I actually saw them! Two owls, two nights in a row. Hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo hoo-hoo, hoo hoo-hoo. Photo source.

This past mid-October, I’ve had a daily afternoon visitor: this rib-cage showing, adult female deer who — and I’ve witnessed it — is still nursing two larger fawn. There’s an oak tree in my backyard and acorns galore on the ground. That’s what brings her and her fawn to fatten up in these months before winter…

Her mind

Her Mind. 'Tis the name of a magazine, not promises of insight in a female-identifying person. Other than if you were to want to read the magazine's article about me and my role as the Director of Communications and Engagement for a large local business. Oh, that was an interesting one. The magazine's editor begged me,…

For those of you who think Mercury in Retrograde is a bunch of bunk, take a look at this: When Mercury is retrograde, oftentimes people from the past pop back into your life for a hello. OK, sure; people from your past pop into your life when Mercury isn’t retrograde. I get that. Of course. But-and,…

Life is like this: combinations of synchronicities, threads in the tapestry, alignments too random to be random. This just happened: I was on Facebook, adjusting some settings and saw a photo of my sister and I, taken in 2001--twenty years ago--in which we're standing next to two camels, the Giza pyramids behind us. Seconds after seeing this…

I grew up with parents who, in the ‘70s, were fairly healthy and health-oriented. My parents did international folk dancing for their exercise and socializing; my mom gardened, composted and made every meal at home (when I say “every” meal, I mean that literally, save the one or two times per year we got treated…

As one who has been more at the edge of what's coming in trends, business shifts, cultural change and whatnot, I have come to understand that the WHEN you do something is often just as important -- or at least relevant -- as WHAT you did. For me, and particular to this little story, is the…

I pulled together 25 words for each generational archetype at each phase of life and made a video for each. These 25 words per are by no means absolute and the only descriptives, though they do provide a good and generalized summary of each archetype.
