SIDE NOTES

Side Notes has been a great way for me to continue to tell stories, just in a different medium now.

I have been working on what will be my first book, Unfinished Business: The Art of Reinvention. A collection of humorous essays on life, lessons from twenty years in business, and what reinvention in my forties has actually looked like in real time.

In these reads you will find moments of humor, nostalgia, and relatability.

Thank you for taking the time to read and follow along on this new adventure.

Blink. Blink. Blink. You Good?

Blink. Blink. Blink. You good? Because I’m one turn signal away from a full-blown emotional episode. From hallway shoulder checks to broken toes via home trim sabotage—this one’s for anyone who’s ever screamed “REALLY?!” at a cabinet and called it coping. You’re not unhinged. You’re just at capacity.

Hi, I’m Business Bleu Cheese

You know what goes great with cold, lumpy mashed potatoes and overcooked peas you’ve been avoiding for an hour?A big ol’ glass of milk.At least, that’s what my grandpa thought when he tried to induct me into the Clean Plate Club. It did not end well. I decorated the family dinner table in a way no one appreciated, and to this day, I still can’t do cooked peas.
