Mousetrap
I came downstairs this morning at 5:30 a.m. to find the cat staring beneath the ottoman. I was pretty sure he'd found a mouse. As soon I lifted it, he raced and scooped it up in his jaws. I scrambled to find a plastic container to catch it
Blog direction rethink
For the past week, I've been about this website—what it should be and how it should look. The moment I dropped the writing blog, it felt untethered as a professional website, but I still offer coaching through here and run my class in a backroom that isn't easy to
