Ahhhh People. It’s time. Ive missed our coffee dates. It’s time for us to hang, chat *and* get all kinds of BLUNT & over-share’y. This time, however, we’re heading to my new (fingerquote) office (unFQ). My Oakland coffee-version of Cheers and, if youre not a coffee lover as am I, you can even choose to [...]

To know me for a while is to recall how I used to be the CRAZZZY DOG LADY. It all began with our black lab, Barkley. We loved us some Barkley and yet he didnt seem as happy as he could be. He seemed lonely. So, once he demonstrated he was responsible enough to care [...]

(A small sampling. I am, indeed, an addict.) Ok, People. Allow myself….to date myself. To know me. To *really* know me. Is to realize I aspire to be Elton John.

The other morning the child and I were hanging out and taking it slow. I lament her early rising (she’s up by 530a without fail) but the busier she gets the more Im enjoying the fact we *always* have time in the morning to BE. By way of full disclosure– this was not one of [...]

The title of this post is “stolen” from an email I received. When I read the subject line (Big bloggers are so cliquey!) it took me a moment to realize the sender did not mean STATURE but perceived reach. Apparently Im slow that way. But I digress. Essentially the message asked if, when I started [...]

The other day I stumbled upon an article which resonated with me. I usually avoid “list articles” as the voices Im drawn to dont typically lend themselves to 8 Ways to Drink More Water Than You Ever Dreamed Possible or 5 Tips for Creating the Life You Want in 7 Seconds. This article, however, [...]
