The Secret Life of Words
I enjoy analyzing things. And disclaimer; I will nerd out on you today a bit. After sharing Seth’s reply to my email yesterday, I could practically hear the screaming disbelief… “he’s a writer and his capitalization and punctuation look like THAT?!?” And I will admit, I put on
Short, Sweet and Just What I Needed to Hear
2 hours after I sent my email…! Sometimes they even write back. And sometimes you don’t have to wait very long for them to do it :)
I Wrote a Letter to Someone I Admire Today
I had my own mini adventure this morning sitting right here in my chair with my granny blanket. I’ve always enjoyed the fantasy of writing to someone I really admire and having them write back. And sometimes it even happens. I wrote an email to Seth Godin this morning.

The Kind of Old Lady I Want to Be
My sister, Theresa, had her 40th birthday party yesterday so I flew to Edmonton to meet the fam and some buddies to spend it with her. *I’m currently writing this post in the Calgary airport 😁 It was a pretty epic time. We dressed up in jungle animal themed clothes,
A 5 Year Old’s Rite of Passage.
Henry sometimes gets upset about always having to do what I say. In these moments his go-to is always; “when do I get to be the boss??!” When I ask him what he would do if he was boss he always says he would buy gum. Probably because he’
