I almost didn’t write this post. All week, this is what’s been going through my head: It’s been hot. I’ve been tired. I’ve been using a lot of creative energy for other projects. I didn’t have time. I wasn’t inspired. I didn’t like any of the ideas in my Swipe File. It’s been really fucking hot…

Do not compare yourself to the giants. Your comparison will only leave you feeling mired in issues of self-worth and inadequacy. We are a species that enjoys comparison, knows comparison, thrives on comparison: us vs. them. this vs. that. We know light because we know dark and vice versa. But…

I’m going to learn how to repair an old tractor! Actually, let me backup… When I was in early high school, I really really wanted to study car mechanics. My high school had a shop and I was fascinated by the students coming up the stairs with grease on their…

Once upon a time, I was the Executive Director of a small not for profit organization. It wasn’t my first foray into the nonprofit world, but it was my last. Or at least, my most recent. Prior to the ED position, I’d sat on Boards, volunteered multiple days a week…
