being 43 is my thing

"This has been incredible. How do you know all this stuff?" I am comfortably sitting on the floor cross-legged at sunset with a glass of red wine in my hand. I am leading a strategic planning retreat for entrepreneurs and the team is feeling pleasantly tired from the focused work, and also fired up. I… Continue reading being 43 is my thing

is portland my thing

As I write this I am hurtling through the air on a jet plane from Vancouver to Portland (for work and a little bit of pleasure, woot! woot!). This is my first time on a flight since the end of 2019 because of that whole pandemic thing, and it all feels a bit surreal, like… Continue reading is portland my thing

maybe being happy is my thing

As I come to the end of the first quarter of 2022, I am wondering what the purpose of this challenge of mine is. Why am I doing this? What is the point?

arguing is my thing

There is a lot of fighting an invading going on. Considering this I wanted to share a book that I think would have an immediate and positive impact on... everything. Pretty much everything.

getting cheated on in japan and my march thing

I found out I was being cheated on from an anonymous good Samaritan via email. An anonymous email, ladies and gentlemen. They didn't say who they were or how they knew the details they knew. They didn't give me anything else. They just dropped this intimate bombshell into my inbox, into my computer, into my… Continue reading getting cheated on in japan and my march thing

saying yes is my thing

I see Tara's comment on my "this is going to be the new thing I try in February" post on Instagram as I am running to pick my kids up from school. I am always running when I pick my kids up from school. I am always slightly out of breath as I stand with… Continue reading saying yes is my thing

angels, my thing

angel card readings are my thing

I am driving a little too fast to my angel card reading appointment (my "thing" for February is readings). My plan to leave with plenty of time got sideswiped with an impromptu meeting for work and now I am running and starting and zipping and swearing a bit under my breath and sweating a bit… Continue reading angel card readings are my thing

axe throwing is my thing (new things)

I did it. I hurled a pink handled axe in a metal cage and occasionally hit a spray painted target for an hour. I am no Paul Bunyan, but I did better than I did with the bowling so there's that. It was fun... and I got kind of sweaty... and my arm got sore...… Continue reading axe throwing is my thing (new things)
