The Present
I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.
As I move out of my professional halftime, I’m excited to embark on my next journey. As of 9/9/2020, the book is available for pre-order and my new job starts at McCann China.

Highlights from New Mexico
What a gorgeous part of the country! We so enjoyed seeing the ancient pueblo cliff dwellings. Those with younger kiddos will love these - literally hundreds of rooms they can run in and out of! They can climb the walls... And yet still maintain social distance :)...
Mobile Biosphere Day 19: A little surprise
We were driving right through Henderson, so we couldn't resist. While maintaining social distancing, we stopped by my parents' place. Laini set up on their front patio to surprise-serenade them, and in return they plied us with food for the rest of our...
