In the summer of 2020, I got a card in the mail from a friend of a friend. Enclosed was a lovely hand-written note with her condolences on the passing of my father, and she recounted feelings about her own father’s passing a few years prior. It’s difficult to describe, but I was just starting…
A few weeks ago, I had a great conversation with a new connection. At one point, she mentioned that she was stuck in the middle of creating a course. One of my goals for the new year was to create additional content around this topic (beyond the podcast/YouTube show), so I decided to do a…
I came across a video on Instagram recently about defining enough. It was one of those things that you know, but it hit me like a ton of bricks. The gist was that we can do, do, do and it may never be enough. But if we define enough ahead of time, we’ll know when…
Over the past few weeks, I’ve gotten several emails about plugins with security issues. (Plugins are pieces of functionality for WordPress sites – for extra widgets/design options, forms, backups, security scans, anti-spam measures – you name it, there’s probably a plugin for it.)

This morning I was checking my LinkedIn notifications (yes, I was stalling before really diving into work) when I saw a notification that said, “Congratulate [your connection] on 19 years at [company they work at that I also worked at, twice].” My first reaction was something like… 19 YEARS?! At THAT PLACE!?! 😱🤯 In the…
We’re getting to the end of the year and I’m feeling the pressure. There are so many things I want to do, and I can tell because I keep making lists. 🙈 I have lists for individual project next steps, for the rest of the year, for clients, for Christmas — all the lists. It’s…
If you follow me on LinkedIn or Twitter, you may have seen my posts about starting a podcast/YouTube show. If you don’t, surprise!! I’m starting a podcast/YouTube show! 🎉 What I didn’t share on social media, though, was the backstory and how I really feel about all of this. Never, at any point, was my…
