I’ve Been Pondering…
The Icelandic phrase “þetta reddast” which means “it will all work out in the end.” I wrapped up all my projects a week early and have begun my summer vacation away from to-do lists and over thinking and letting go of the illusion of control. In other words, I hope it will all work out…

I’ve Been Pondering…
Going on strike against some topics at the water cooler or, in my case tree chats, since I don’t even know if water cooler chats still exist.

I’ve Been Pondering…
A little wave of nostalgia. Over the years I’ve adjusted to all the changes when attending concerts and sporting events (cost, no purses allowed, security, arguing with the computer that I’m not a bot, the loss of a cool ticket souvenir with tickets on your phone), but now discovering at some stadiums all points of…

I’ve Been Pondering…
What does it say about my attitude this year that my witty coffee mugs have been replaced by this classic diner mug? Too many episodes of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? Too many healthy habits affecting my witty edge? Thor’s Diner Scene? Pining for a simpler world? Discovering coffee tastes better in old fashioned mugs with…
