Is this a Jesus Book?
At the beginning of my all time favorite movie a shockingly young Fred Savage almost shuts the whole thing down before it starts by asking, is this a Kissing Book? That was pretty much my reaction when friends recommended I read Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge. I could tell just by looking that this was…

Leveling up in stained glass
I’m about half way through my second stained glass course. Here’s a backwards look at my progress so far.

Want to work in Tech? Go ahead and get that liberal arts degree
Forbes on the value of a liberal arts degree in the tech industry. I’ve only been in the tech industry a brief while, but I’ve found my liberal arts education to be quite valuable. I’ve also noticed many of my co-workers have similar degrees. My one beef is the article makes it sound like…

Standoff: A study in cat politics
Two of our girls had a little “discussion” this afternoon about who was in control of the dresser territory. Pheobe won as she always does. After which she got down to hang out on the bed. She doesn’t actually want to be on the dresser, she just needs Piper to know that she can be…

A New Hobby?
I’ve never had what I would call a real hobby. I love to read, and I’m an on again, off again knitter, but I’ve never really gotten into anything that I only did for pleasure*. Part of the reason for that is I’ve always had work that I really enjoyed and I put my whole…

New Neighbor
Last time we had groundhogs in the back yard I wrote a post about how they relate to organizational development. This time all you get is this somewhat pixilated photo.

Letting it Go (as many times as it takes)
There’s this series of games I play on my phone a lot. Maybe more than makes sense for a grown-up lady, but that’s not an important part of the story. A couple weeks ago I saw the series had a new game so shockingly enough I downloaded it. Good times. Until level 44. Level 44…

Spring into Colemak
In a fit of enthusiasm for the challenge of learning something new, paired with the peer pressure of working in a company where all the cool kids* use use an alternate keyboard, (along with the allure of a future where I was able to type 100+ words a minute) I decided March 2015 would be the month I switched…

You’re a Happiness What?
I’ve had a career full of jobs that were challenging, interesting, valuable, and fun; yet almost impossible to explain to strangers (in the amount of time strangers want to spend hearing about your job). My current gig as a Happiness Engineer for Automattic is no exception. That having been said, our Happiness Lead, Andrew Spittle captures the…

Barley Burger Stew Revisited
I’m a half-way decent cook but a bad grocery shopper. I also start thinking about dinner 10 minutes after my body has activated the low fuel alert so last minute grocery runs are almost always a non-starter. As a result, I spend a lot of my kitchen time trying to make something fast out of ingredients…

New Perspective
I’ve lived in Dayton, OH for about seven years and worked in or near the downtown area for most of that time. It wasn’t until this weekend that I noticed this park and the beautiful architecture in our downtown area. A nice reminder that when we only see things from one perspective we are almost…
