In case you missed it, in honor of Love a Tree Day, I’m sharing a link to the article I wrote for Herself360 on the subject, and which is a pretty significant milestone for me – my first published piece in the “real world!!” (If you already saw it/read it when I posted about it a couple of weeks ago, thank you – apologies for the repeat.) If you love nature, or had an awkward-pre-adolescent phase when you sometimes wished you could just disappear, or spent a lot of time playing outside as a kid, or just feel like taking a 5-minute break to read something that isn’t political or work-related, I’m happy to share this. I hope you love it as much as I loved writing it.
Here’s this year’s version of the dogwood I talk about at the end. It wasn’t in bloom in time for publication, so I had to revert to a photo from a couple of years ago. This was taken this past Monday. 🙂
I am an evolving experiment in self-actualization. After a 31+ year corporate career, I ditched my suits and pumps and finally tumbled into my “why” in the fall of 2018.
I'm working on my first book, a humorous and sometimes harrowing account of surviving, and even thriving through, an 8 (ok - maybe more like 10)-year home renovation project being jointly delivered by my husband and me, with an occasional few contractors and (sometimes more than) a little help from our friends. I continue to share the ongoing saga on my Hump-Day House Stuff posts.
My passion for the links between food and public and environmental health can be found in my "Food Friday" posts. For fun (and profit), I am a practitioner of value investing and disciplined trading strategies.
I've been on the adventure of marriage to my husband Tim since 1993. We have 2 (arguably) grown sons, James and Owen, and the best family (including my mom & dad, whose care I'm helping with, which I also blog about in Mom & Dad Monday) and friends I could ever have imagined for myself.
