36 Hours

Highland Lift Line

I’m still not blogging as much as I’d like, so I’m going to mix it up and experiment with shorter and less-polished posts. Iterate and (hopefully) improve! Speaking of short and sweet, I regularly listen to a podcast I really enjoy, Before Breakfast with Laura Vanderkam. The daily podcast is usually only 4-6 minutes long (and I’ll add that a lot of it is ads, so it’s actually much shorter than even that) and each day is a productivity tip or new way to think about things. Listening is a great way to get a little burst of inspiration without […]

Our Wedding (Part 3): A Few Final Details Behind the Magic

Oops, it’s been a while – but I want to finish this series so I can remember all the details that made me so happy! Here they are. I loved and want to remember that our florals were quite simple – we bought a great bundle of boutonnieres, corsages, and bouquets from Costco, and then my mom helped arrange them and add hydrangea to the mix. One snafu was that it was supposed to be blue hydrangea, but they are so finicky and we ended up with hydrangea that were kind of pale green with a hint of blue. I’m

Here’s how it all unfolded after the ceremony… As soon as we exited the meadow where our ceremony was held, Mike and I headed up to the barn loft to sign

Our Wedding (Part 1): From Welcome Party to “I Do!”

We just got home from our honeymoon, and it was absolutely incredible! We spent two weeks in Tanzania and hiked Mount Kilimanjaro; saw all kinds of amazing animals on safari in the Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti; and finally spent two days on the beach in Zanzibar. That last part felt like the quintessential honeymoon experience, and it was cool to see the Indian Ocean, but both of us were a little stir crazy for that part of the trip… so I think we planned it perfectly. After such a long time away from work, and especially after those final two

Finding My Stride in the Next Professional Chapter

Back in July, I shared that I was saying goodbye to my job in consulting after fifteen years, and promised I’d come back to share what was next. Long-time readers know I’ve been blogging for several years before PwC, sharing my excitement at getting the job, and I hope I am still blogging for many more years to come! I try to toe a professional line and don’t talk much about work on this blog, but I would be remiss to not memorialize that those years shaped me in more ways than I can count. Not just through the projects
