Nothing makes you realize what doesn’t matter, when it becomes so clear to you what does. I started chronicling my Bella’s kidney journey in late July. I thought it was important for everyone to be aware of how quickly things can change and how important it is to trust your gut. And still, even if […]
My sweetest Bella, we have had an exceptional relationship. One that I could never fully describe and could never be fully understood unless someone knew that it’s possible to love an animal just as much as a human. You were and will forever be my best girl friend in the world. There’s no need to […]
This post is a bit of a continuation of my last one. And here I shall leave it, to avoid a tone of complaint. If anything strikes you as a first world problem, this should certainly be it. I live a good life. A great life even. This I can’t and won’t debate. So why […]
One of my favorite things about working for myself is that I can set my own schedule. Typically, I have a tremendous amount of flexibility – though some of that does depend on the type of consulting engagement. Over the last year, I’ve ended up taking on more roles than projects, so that creates a […]
Recently I had a bit of a health scare. There are similar health problems that run in my family, so there were a couple of months of good old-fashioned worry. Unsurprisingly, sometimes paranoia can get the best of you. So you may be wondering, what about that would make me say life is funny?! Occasionally […]
One of the things I love most about consulting is the variety of industries and the work I do. Fitness, pets, finances, manufacturing, you name it. I’ve worked with more than 35 clients over the last 5 years and often it’s a brand new industry for me. It’s a lot of fun – keeps me […]
I recently wrapped up one of my favorite (and most challenging and demanding) consulting experiences. I actually felt a tinge of sadness about it, which is a rarity for me as I’m so used to this process by now. 35+ clients in 5 years, this is par for the course. But this was different. I […]
It’s easy to say ”I’ll be happy when… ” What’s not as easy is staying glad once that “when” comes. In the past year, every one of us has said, “I’ll be happy when this pandemic is over.” The pandemic is taking its toll in a number of ways. Or perhaps you’ll be happy when […]
I posted this picture 1 year ago. Little did I know what was in store. Was 2020 a “good” year? For most, unfortunately no. It was certainly a strange year though. In the midst of this uncertain year, a lot of really wonderful things happened for us too. But, this year was not without challenge, […]
We recently purchased a brand new house…a town house really, in the city. It didn’t have a kitchen, closets or lights, and we renovated 2 bathrooms. I’m not sure I would consider myself a perfectionist, personally. I know I’m not perfect and I’m ok with that. But for things, yes, I struggle when they are […]
