  • Working on the Next Retreat: Digital Gluttony

    Last night I finished up an article that I titled “Daddy Warbucks in Pantyhose” and sent it off to Catapult Magazine. I’m really enjoying being a part of their community. Even though I have such limited time now, it feels good to have a deadline. I can’t wait to share…

  • A Rainbow of a Day

    Today I went in to San Francisco to see my dentist. Last December when I went in, they found my first cavity EVER. Today I got it filled. I have no words of wisdom on how to go 39 years without a cavity. I was the child who never brushed…

  • Just to Start if Off – A Spring Dress

    I’m inspired by Katey’s latest post where she takes a little queue from an old favorite tradition of ours. When we all worked together, we had “Dress Day Friday.” The thing is, the women of the office decided that on Fridays, we’d dress up. We did it for us. To…
