Grandma’s Wild Journey
I hesitate to add to your inbox right now, just before the mid-term elections, in the midst of notification after notification, and the relentless disturbing headlines, breaking news, and tumult that is our climate right now. Still, this onslaught is what inspired today’s edition of Work Wild. Because somehow, between all that swirls […]
Leaves Take Flight
It is the season for letting go.
A time when even trees move
bending and swaying in the strong gusts
adding their whispering song to the wind.
Leaves touched by autumn’s cool hand
let loose from sturdy branches.
Taking flight, of all things–
a wild dance in all directions.
They land finally, amidst their brightly colored companions
only to scramble on the […]
Hopefully I’ve nudged you toward the notion that bringing your whole Wild self to work and encouraging that in others…
Where does it go? The crisis from work, when you’re home; the drama as you left the house? The relentless news cycles…
It doesn’t matter how many decades I’ve been doing it. Every single year, when I plant vegetable seeds the size of a pin…

On mornings such as this
we humans have to slow our relentless pace
in order to see.
In order to be seen.
Fog can settle restlessness.
Can ease the strain of […]
In Defense of Keyboard Inactivity

What if we could hear our own soul speak?
I mean, we already do from time to time, right?
A bolt of intuition or a deep sense of knowing comes,
or a feeling of calm wisdom settles upon us.
We can and we do tap into our inner spirit
especially if we make room and pay attention.
But what if our […]
Is there anyone NOT managing challenging circumstances outside of work right now? It seems like everyone I know…myself included…is juggling really hard stuff at home, while also needing to be at the top of their game in their work life.
Thus, we are left to balance and negotiate. To prioritize and then toss plans up in […]
