Last Update: April 29, 2026 from Vancouver, Washington
Life stuff:
- My balcony garden is blooming and growing. Pansies never stopped blooming form last year, so I've got a glut of color as I wait for strawberries and whatnot to bloom. My local friend, Dusti, launched a micronursery in Vancouver, WA, and I signed up for her plant CSA. This year I added peas, potatoes, and a thornless blackberry to the patio along with lettuce, spinach, garlic and onions. Peppers and tomatoes are coming this week! My husband says it's getting a little crowded. I tell him he maybe should have bought a smaller grill!
- Finally got the new prescription lenses worked out! It always takes forever to find the right contacts.
- Waffling on what to do with my hair as we work out the repositioning of my brand.
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.
- Still waiting on my trademark application results, but we're getting closer. Probably another couple of months before it's assigned to an examiner.
- Finishing up my work with RKA on the repositioning strategy for the new branding. I'm kind of impatient about things like this, but I'm super happy with the direction we're going and look forward to sharing it more widely when we've nailed it.
- Developing a new Keynote around simplifying high-stakes decision making in uncertain times.
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!
