April 13- The Good Life

It’s the weekend. Enough about work stuff. While it provides me with the funds to live this life, I know that’s not what life is all about. As part of my 75 Hard program, I started reading The Go...

April 12 - Something's Up

My direct boss is super weird. I think I’ve told you that. I’ve called him “Inbox Nazi” many times before. He cares about everyone having a Zero Inbox (no unfiled emails) over other important bus...

April 11 - Tapped Out

Rough day at work yesterday - don’t want to talk about it, but I’m annoyed and need to keep my ears to the ground and I HATE that. Why is my career so shaky at the end of it? It wasn’t supposed t...

April 10 - On This Day

So, so much going on in my FB Memories (you know, when photos from the past pop up and all of that emotion comes flooding back) and even here in PB with the On This Day section. Five years ago i...

April 9 - Got Mooned!

The eclipse was cool to see. We were worried around these parts that we wouldn’t get to see anything because of the expectation of low clouds and even possible thunderstorms. But the sky held o...

April 8 - Pickled

Went to my beginner Novice Pickleball League yesterday. For the first time since I’ve started to learn how to play, I felt like I was really in the game! It’s starting to get fun for me. Even th...

April 7 - The Cleanup

Yesterday (Saturday) was my Monthly Volunteer Day. I’ve said it in other entries that I’ve decided to volunteer at least once a month. I haven’t given myself any kind of restrictions or guidelin...

April 6 - The Brother

Finally saw my friend C. last night. He’d been MIA for a while. I know he leaves town frequently and goes to California to see his girlfriend and do work (what does that guy even DO?!), but it wa...

April 5 - Friday

It’s Friday. We made it. After working for Cool Cat Company for nearly 6 months now (can you believe it?!), I’m starting to enjoy working from home in some aspects. If you take out the fact that ...

April 4 - Andrew Huberman

I can’t remember how I’d fairly recently discovered Andrew Huberman, the neuroscientist professor at Stanford who also had a podcast and a popular Instagram page with 6.2M followers, but I’m sure...

April 3 - Agility

The days seem to fly by lately. Today’s read was about agility. You know how the older you get the less flexible you are? Unless you practice stretching both mentally and physically, you become ...

April 2 - Authenticity

Hey, good morning! I have read my book for the day and today’s lesson was in authenticity. It’s funny - I feel like I’m pretty authentic on the daily - just being my dorky self. But maybe I do t...

April 1

Good morning! Gonna see if I can add quick journal entries to my morning routine. I’m still figuring my morning routine out - always a work in progress - but I would love to add this to my 75 Har...


Good morning, all! I feel like it’s a Monday of new beginnings for some reason. I’m back from my first business trip of this new-ish job and it was fantastic to be traveling again! This time it w...

Pulling Bullets

Hi! Let’s see. New week. New me? Hah. Here are some things, in no real particular order, but some of it is sort of chronological: Did I tell you I noticed a concerning spot/lesion on my eyelid la...


I think I’ve decided to try and do one volunteer event per month. This month, I volunteered at a huge, HUGE multi-day convention that happens in my city every year. So many amazing, successful,...

Leap Day 2024

I just wanted to write an entry so I can look back on this four years from now and have an On This Day entry! Does anyone else love going back and reading those entries that you wrote years ago? ...

Catch UP!

Catching up with life…it’s been a while. So much has happened. I went to the fun lesiban dance party! It was so interesting. The Birthday Girl (my crush-ish) had invited several people who live ...

Post V-Day

I feel like I don’t have much to say lately. Or maybe it’s that when I feel like writing, it’s always close to bedtime and I feel like I”m winding down and my eyes are closing. It’s February. It...

Backup Computer?

I haven’t felt like working all afternoon. Spent the whole morning and most of the afternoon in meetings - from 8:30am (talking to China) until 2:00 (meeting with the Exec Team) - I sat here at ...

Friday Stuff

Been sitting at my computer for what seems like forever. Tonight I discovered that Bumble can be viewed in an actual browser on the web - not just through the app on a mobile phone. What a game-...
