Leave a comment

I’m baack!  It’s been awhile since writing in this arena.  Over the last fourteen months I’ve dipped my toes in a variety of community efforts – tracking and reporting on local government activity, helping a local charter school find its way through getting up and running, and navigating ‘Ohana Oasis through COVID-19. This year was … Continue reading It’s a New Day at Ohana Oasis

The magic began on a hot July afternoon. My text alert pinged, “This is it, you won’t be hearing from me for several months.” It was from a friend with whom we’d both tossed around the notion of leaving our careers to follow some crazy dream. He didn’t go anywhere, but his text sent my … Continue reading Define Living Life Fully

Am I Two to Twenty Years too Late?

December 15, 2017May 24, 2019Leave a comment

Dueling To Do Lists

November 20, 2017May 24, 2019Leave a comment

I have two lists, the Must Do's and the Want To Do's.  The last few weeks I've been chasing to keep up with the former and been sorely neglecting the latter.
