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 the strawberries, peas, and blackberries start to bloom. Potatoes have reached teh surfacein one grow bag, while I'm trimming off red lettuce and snap peas from that bag. The other bag has some cilantro, but no signs of potatoes, yet!
- I'm back in PT to rehab my hip muscles. Now that I'm walking more, it's important that everything's working as it should!
- My oldest is in FL, my youngest in MI, and both of them seem to be doing well.
- Hubbys enjoying his work at a local non-profit. The schedule is weird, so now we work weekends and have Monday/tuesday off!
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 month before it's assigned to an examiner.
- I've hired RKA to continue with the creative direction for the repositioning on the branding. Things are moving slower than I'd like - but i'm impatient like that. The body of work I'm creating in the meantime is coming together. Right now, we're scouting locations and looking for a photgrapher and videographer to film a new speaker reel. My stylist, Kathy, is on the search for wardrobe for the shoots!
- I just interviewed a Business Development advisor to move the needle on growing the business.
- 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!
