Last Update: October 23, 2026 from Vancouver, Washington
Life stuff:
- My balcony garden is STILL blooming and growing. Pansies never stopped blooming from last year, and the strawberries, peas, and blackberries got their second wind this fall, though the crops are smaller. Started a second bag of potatoes after a light harvest from the first bag last month. The new bag has shoots, so we'll get at least a few more spuds before winter hits!
- I finished PT last month and now I'm in maintenance mode.
- My oldest is in IL and dealing with some housing instability. My youngest in MI, and just passed his driver test.
- Hubby's enjoying his work at a local non-profit. I try to match my days off to his, so I'm OOO on Thurs and Fri now.
Work Stuff:
- Continuing to film a reality series about the journey to develop my new book about high-stakes decisions when things are uncertain and you've got competing priorities.
- Trademark application complete! One Move That Matters is now a registered trademark and my new website is launching by November 1! Big props to Tracy at Digivisual Design for the great new website design!
- I've completed my contract with RKA for my brand repositioning and creative direction. The new speaker reel is done and I am THRILLED at how it turned out.
- I'm working with a Business Development advisor to help me actively connect with people looking to book speakers for their events and media appearances. If you know anyone, I speak on decision making, problem solving, and change management in uncertain times - which feels like ALL the time right now!
- The new Keynote around simplifying high-stakes decision making in uncertain times is ready! Now, somebody book me for a talk!
Other stuff:
- I'm up to my elbows in meeting people and making new friends in the PDX area. If you're around, say howdy!
