Summer Fun
Summer has officially arrived! Here is my list of fun activities and shorter trips that I am planning for the summer.

My Love of Giraffes
I have loved giraffes ever since I was a little girl. After asking my parents for one consistently, I eventually got a puppy but no giraffe ever came to live with us.

Then and Now
What a difference a few months can make! With the COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home orders, I've had more time to step back and really examine certain aspects of my life. As a result, I have changed some of my ways.

Inspiration is Everywhere
I like sharing to my Instagram stories. But does anyone care that I went for a run or made a new pasta dish?

Establish a Morning Routine
I always thought I had a morning routine, but I learned that I really didn’t have one that was consistent and focused.

Well Spent Time At Home
While I work from home normally, I have always had a heavy travel scheduled mixed in.

A Greater Appreciation of Remote Work.
I work remotely, and I have also managed people who work remotely. Managing remote workers came first, and this was back in the day when this was less accepted.

Three of My Top Travel Tips
If you travel with any frequency, you know new tips and tricks can make travel easier and more pleasant. It has taken me years and a lot of trial and error to have my own tips and I'm sharing three of them here:

I Still Have Running
Over the last several years, I really got back into running. It started with being invited to do a 5K with my trainer with only about a week's notice.

My Dog is Teaching Me New Tricks
I'm a dog lover and toyed with the idea of getting one for about a decade. For part of this time, I was working 14+ hour days in a hospital and just didn't feel I had the lifestyle for a dog.

Always Up For a Good Challenge
Over the past few years, I've signed up for a few physical challenges that involved hours of training, fundraising, proper nutrition, and extreme focus.
