The warmer weather has ignited a burning desire in me to do three things: exercise outside, get started planting seeds for my garden/supplementing the soil, and spring cleaning/getting organized. So I invite you to join me for a free Spring Cleaning event on Friday. But this is Spring Cleaning, Renaissance Person-Style. Brain Dump It’s called

Embracing More of My Multi-passionate Self
I don’t know if music is necessarily my first love, but as the daughter of a Suzuki piano teacher, it is certainly the first area where I received formal training. I started piano lessons one week before I turned three. My first lesson with Aljean (because my mom knew that there was NO way that

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“.

My Latest Podcast Guest Appearance!
Every time I get to be podcast guest, I get such a thrill out of it (I think it’s the former TV news person in me who appreciates getting to say that something is “now live!”) In this episode of Melanie Padgett Powers’ “Deliberate Freelancer” I talked all about accessibility and disability awareness. I highlighted
