I recently listened to a motivating, inspiring podcast where the guest shared this advice: Be OK with B- work. B MINUS. That stopped me in my tracks. I’m not a B- person. I suspect you’re not either. We strive for that A every time, right? After my initial shock wore off, I thought it through.…… Continue reading The Perfection Paradox

What I’m working on…
Somehow we’re well into 2018 Q2. I know I say this every year–every month, really–but the time is just slipping past. In part, it’s because things have been so busy! I say “busy,” by the way, as a positive thing. Productive. Full. Purposeful. I’m never anyone who would subscribe to the “busyness as a badge”…… Continue reading What I’m working on…

I spotted a ton of tweets from other folks who were on their way to the first ever BlogPaws conference. I actually considered NOT tweeting that…… Continue reading Why BlogPaws?
Here’s what I’ve been working on
Whew. Things have been busy, busy, busy. My goal for November was simply to keep my head above water! We relocated, and the move took up far more time than I ever imagined. And we’ve moved a lot. This one was an extra-big-beast for some reason. Thankfully, though, we’re settled in and (mostly) unpacked. I’m…… Continue reading Here’s what I’ve been working on
BlogPaws 2015 and eBook News!
I’ve attended all but one of the annual BlogPaws conferences (darn chemo ruined my perfect record), and this year’s was a remarkable experience. They’re all wonderful, of course, but this was the first year I got to speak. That’s me. Speaking. I need a haircut. Anyway, it was an absolute pleasure to chat about authenticity…… Continue reading BlogPaws 2015 and eBook News!
