Thank you Sheila! Your kind words and support mean a lot.

Awesome, inspirational and well-said. I enjoyed reading your reflection on your outdoor experiences in the context of your professional work and writing. You absolutely have meaningful ideas to share, and are not an imposter. I have the same questions about myself, my ideas, and my writing. I imagine you would tell me the same things. Yet, so many of us continue to struggle with these same questions. Brene Brown’s work is s great source of inspiration for me too. I especially like this conclusion: “My brand is me.” So true. I’m so glad you shared this article!

I haven’t written in a while. I could attribute that to the fact that work has been busy or that I’ve been spending my free time traveling and exploring. These are true statements. But the real reason is that I’ve been afraid. A recent camping trip and time on the hiking trails reminded me of how a little perspective can change your mindset. So I’m leaning into the fears and getting curious about the questions. Onward.
