This feels like a full-circle moment
Hey Reader, You know, I was thinking the other day about how all over the map my work life has been. I’ve managed a hardware store… worked in banking and real estate… waitressed, been a production assistant, supported nonprofits… cleaned bathrooms, walked dogs, played with kids… and I’ve even worked in just about every kind of flower-centric business that exists — from flower farms to nurseries to florists to essential oil distilleries. Very different roles. Very different seasons. But there...
The small spaces that keep us connected
Hi Reader, If you’re opening this on Black Friday, consider me genuinely impressed — and truly grateful. I know your inbox is overflowing today, so I just wanted to send a warm hello from my corner of the internet. This week I stepped into a new family role: project lead for our annual family calendar. With 23 families contributing photos, it’s a lot to organize — but I’m genuinely enjoying it. As the submissions roll in, I’ve been reminded how precious it is to have something that holds our...
A tiny shift that opened a big door
Reader, Lately I’ve been thinking about how fun it is to learn something new — not just the skill itself, but the surprise of discovering pieces of yourself you didn’t know were there. The things you’re naturally good at. The things that feel strangely intuitive. The things that quietly light up your brain.For me, one of those discoveries has been creating custom GPTs — little digital helpers that make my days feel more grounded and clear. A couple of years ago, the idea of building custom...
A windy first taste of winter ❄️
Reader,We had our first real taste of winter on Long Island this week — not gentle flakes, but a full-on windy squall! Have you had your first glimpse of winter weather yet where you are? My daughter and I were out on our daily walk when it rolled in, and after a few windy minutes we decided to cut things short and head home. But before we turned back, I couldn’t resist… I started singing Christmas songs with her. I know some people think it’s too early, but I’ve always loved everything about...
From one end of the rainbow to the other 🌈
Reader,Fourteen years ago today, I was taking on one of the biggest adventures of my life. All my belongings were packed into a pod somewhere in transit, and I was driving my little Mazda Tribute, with my beagle Frankie, my birdies, my houseplants, and a few other things I knew I’d need in the interim. I was moving from Florida to Oregon — from one far corner of the country to the opposite one. I used to describe it as moving from one end of the rainbow to the other. My Facebook flashbacks...
My goal through the end of the year
Hey Reader, It’s Halloween 🎃 — the official start of the season where everything speeds up. Between business projects, client work, and all the extra holiday plans, it’s so easy to blink and realize the entire stretch from Halloween to Christmas has flown by. But I don’t want this season to just happen, so my goal is simple: to be fully present with my daughter.She’s still young, and I want to soak in every bit of awe and wonder this season brings — the costumes, the lights, the joyful laughs...
Ever had an email just… vanish?
Hey Reader, True story: the very first test newsletter I ever sent to myself disappeared into the email-land void. It didn’t arrive in my inbox. It wasn’t in spam. It was just gone... off to who knows where, never to be found again. And let me tell you, if that didn’t knock me back and fill me with doubt, then nothing would. But I ignored that little voice whispering, “You have no idea what you’re doing. Maybe this isn’t for you.” Instead, I started digging, reading every tech article my ESP...
