As I've written before, I've been working with an executive coach for several years. Our work together and the relationship that has grown through that work, continue to bring brightness, clarity, calm, wonder, and warmth to my work at Kindred Place and more broadly in my life. It was through this work that I decided … Continue reading Something about flow.

Here’s the deal.
Welcome to segment four, out of eight (nine, if you include the intro), in the short series about the creative brief, a tool that can be used to bridge a perceived gap that gets in the way of cooperative, holistic enterprise, both in business and in life. Bonus for today's post? Recipe links at the … Continue reading Here’s the deal.
How to weather a storm.
I'm writing this post at my writing table, which for most of its life has been a kitchen or dining table and bears all the markings to prove it. I'm writing in one draft, so there are sure to be typos and incomplete thoughts. Under the table, a big baby of a dog, all hundred … Continue reading How to weather a storm.
On Saturday, we… clean?
Once upon a time, a long time ago, my sister lived with me in a small guesthouse in an old neighborhood in Omaha, which was pretty much as far away from everything, and everyone, else in our lives.

It's nice … Continue reading It’s Friday, I’m in love.
Woden’s day.
If you were born on a Wednesday, then the story you might tell yourself, on repeat, is that those sad, dark, dramatic feelings are your birthright. You'll never be happy. How could you be? You're the child born full of woe, as the poem goes. If only your mother had gone into labor just a … Continue reading Woden’s day.
But what will we do with Tuesday?
(Oh, come on; you know how I love a themed series, right?) I read a quote (author unknown) that was something like, "Tuesday is Monday's uglier sister." I disagree. Tuesday, for me, is the sweet spot day. Tuesday is early enough in the week that one might say, "Let's meet early in the week - … Continue reading But what will we do with Tuesday?
A few things: January 2022
How about a monthly round-up post (which I haven't done in a while) to get back in the swing of things after taking most of January off from writing (and most other things, other than work and spending time with my children while they were home)? OK. We'll start here: What I'm curious about, at … Continue reading A few things: January 2022
