STOP apologizing for going off on a tangent!
This is my hot take, and I’m serious about it!! This is where innovative thinking happens!! My podcast is called “Connecting the Dots with The Renaissance People“. But my #2 choice was “Off on a Tangent” because that’s when some of the most creative thinking happens. A dot is a circle, and a tangent (if

Something’s Coming…
This is getting REAL! I just changed my LinkedIn headline… I’m not going to write “there’s no going back”, because that’s not true. I could decide that building a community for Renaissance People is the wrong fit for me right now. Or life could start “life-ing” to hard again and I may need to hit

Canceled Because it’s about Equity for Women?!?

Hocus Pocus, Time to Focus
If you’ve ever used a garden hose, you have an intuitive understanding of a concept from fluid dynamics (and if you’re a fellow meteorologist reading this, you know what’s coming). To get mud off your gardening trowel, successfully wash the car, or get revenge on your sibling, there’s a way to increase the power of

Getting Back in Action
This week I finally sent out another newsletter, after taking 4 weeks off. Before that, I had a streak going of sending something out every 1 to 2 weeks. But I had been knocked out by a quadruple whammy of: I shared my challenges, not as a way to get my readers to feel sorry
