Closing Out Women’s History Month
I’m late… very late! Typically, I send out this newsletter on the first Friday of every month. Alas, here I am (on the last Friday of March) sending out this month’s roundup. The reality of life is that sometimes we drop the ball, have too many things on our plate, have unexpected things thrown at […]
On Managing Change & Beginning Again
Confession: My January was not bold or brilliant. With a five-year-old in tow, I faced a travel saga that is not for the faint of heart.
