Just here for the flowers and prose.

Occasionally I garden🪴 and write. I paint, read, and drink too much tea 🫖 the rest of the time. 8-5/M-F I create B2B strategy +content.

Writer. Thinker. Planner. Marketer.

I wanted to make a local difference with the SNAP shutdown, so I called a neighborhood church’s food pantry. (I’m happily unchurched.)

They usually serve 600 families. Yesterday it was 800. #michigan #snap #swmi

The art isn’t quantified. But the books (and I’ll finish the 200th tonight) and music were.

In all, after 2024 tried to kill me, 2025 wasn’t bad. (The US govt leaders mean it wasn’t good either.) I did rediscover joy. And that’s a win.

Be safe out there and I’ll see you in 2026!

I asked how you were. You said fine and left it there. That lack of interest told me everything I needed to know. And so, I let you go. Enjoy that freedom.

I was running errands and stopped - on a weekday- at my usual pedi place. (They only see me occasional weekends for 20 years).

I told the nail tech to pick my color - I usually bring my own neutral. She picked Christmas red. “Celebration” she said.

I got asked to speak at an industry conference.

When I told my boss, he said- I thought you were already doing that.

No Greg. I’m getting an award at the conference and now they have also asked me to give a presentation. Keep up with my level of awesome 😎

Rep. Magaziner: How many veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Rep. Magaziner: We are joined on Zoom by a combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient. Earlier this year, you deported him to Korea.

What kind of a blighted society turns the word “snowflake” into an insult?, I sometimes catch myself thinking, but then again, I’ve never understood why “treehugger” should offend.

When I was younger, I wanted the golden retriever type so everyone knew I worthy of someone “good”.

Now? Give me morally grey or “mean to everyone but her” guy. Someone who is 100% there for me.

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Big fun for all of us!
