When you're going through hell, keep going. ~ Winston Churchill It's been radio silent for a bit. Stuff has happened. I'm sure I did more then work, sleep, eat and take bathroom breaks. The reality is since I last posted there's been little more than working and sleeping with an emphasis on working. The British…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 55 and 56 and 57

We've got a few things to celebrate this week dear followers. First, I've decided to make a change in the day job. I'm not quite ready to announce what…Read more Celebrating Life: New Growth
One Year Ago
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them. ~ Dalai Lama On March 2, 2020, I packed up my work items for what I thought would be a few weeks at home. I was sort of excited about the thought of getting…Read more One Year Ago
Working from Home: Week 35
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. ~ Ernest Hemingway It's the last week of October. Typically, Autumn is my favorite time of year. The days are shorter, the trees provide a spectacular show, it's officially tea/soup weather, and I can layer…Read more Working from Home: Week 35

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. ~ William Shakespeare Another two weeks have gone past. Where does the time go?

A thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. ~ William Blake Wow, sometimes life just keeps throwing obstacles at you to see how strong you are.

Working from Home: Weeks 31 and 32
Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death. It's been two weeks since I did a working from home update. Sometimes life events just get in the way.

You're imperfect and you're wired for struggle, but you are worth of love and belonging. ~ Brene Brown Wow, I thought smoke from the wildfires was a bit soul crushing. Just as the rain arrived in the PNW to provide breathable air we lost not one but two great woman both to cancer. Needless to…Read more Working from Home: Week 30
Working from Home: Week 29
A river cuts through a rock not because of it's power, but it's persistence. Another week has gone by. I'm not going to sugar coat it. This has been a hard week and at time rather soul crushing. The smoky conditions are still here and haven't cleared as predicted on Monday. Our next chance of…Read more Working from Home: Week 29
Working from Home: Week 28
Be kind to one another. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. The heat has returned along with forest fires. Smoky haze is not my favorite thing to wake up with. Whenever there is ash in the air, I always feel like the earth is in mourning. Maybe it is? Humans…Read more Working from Home: Week 28
