One of my resolutions for 2025 is to use LinkedIn. I know it’s a little weird, but a whole swathe of professionals simply don’t Tweet, shit post or blog. Many professionals brand themselves with polished post on more poised platforms. Their branding is less about authenticity or raw insights and more about composure. As I’ve […]

Day 1414 and Signs
I’ve been a bit Delphic in tone over the last week. I’m relieved but also distracting myself with shopping, reading and health projects. My natural optimism is looking for the positive. If you go in for numerology 14 is a good number for the moment as 1 represents independence, leadership and change while 4 is […]
Day 1408 and Downmarket Sephora
The Sephora Savings event has begun for their loyalty program shoppers. And I’m so disappointed by their holiday merchandising. It’s their downmarket I’ve ever seen the brand while somehow also being incredibly expensive. If you are not aware Sephora is a cosmetics retailer owned by luxury conglomerate LVMH with roughly 2700 stores globally across 34 […]
Day 1366 and Interior Life
For a woman raised in the Rockies and settled down in Montana, you’d think I’d be more outdoorsy. And yet I can spend days at a time in just one room with little trouble and even enjoyment. Even with that wholesome “National Parks” backdrop, I was always a bookish and imaginative child. I was once […]
I was doing some packaging preparation for fall travel and was pleased to discover that I’d finally appeared to have built out a basics wardrobe that actually mixed and matched well. A decent capsule wardrobe I bought I’d never achieve had come together after literally a decade of failed promises from startups. There was an […]
I am hunkering down for a Friday evening at home. Batten down the hatches, secure the chickens in their coop, turn on the security system and lock the doors kiddos because the circus is here. Former President Donald Trump is hosting a rally in Bozeman Montana tonight and I would like to keep my distance […]
Day 1214 and Hectic
Things are hectic. For all my boosterism about leaning into acceleration I don’t personally live that fast. So I feel it when things are hectic. I was raised in some of the pushback from various future shock worriers so I’m a fan of living at a human pace. Because as I said (and I’ll continue […]
Day 1137 and High Friction
I’ve been experiencing several forms of friction over the last week or two. Some of it was a deliberate step back to be grounded and present. I introduced the friction myself to focus on my nervous system. But other things have acted as more of a drag on my days than I’d have anticipated. The […]
Day 1130 and Accidental Fast
I had a series of unplanned excursions today that got slightly out of hand. A hotel didn’t work out and I found myself switching my base of operations. In the process of moving about, I thought to myself “I’ll just have a coffee and eat later!” I fart all the time. It was 10am at […]
Day 1118 and Distrustful Shopper
I am a good shopper. I know retail cadences and when to buy a product. If you want to know sales happen or new merchandise timing I usually know. I know manufacturing chains, sourcing standards and material costs across multiple categories. I loved working inside corporate retail and consider my time in cosmetics and fashion […]
