I hope you can join the Fearless Change Campfire free virtual event on Oct 3, 9 a.m. EDT. Mary Lynn Manns and Linda Rising will host this event...with a lot of story telling and sharing of how people have made changes in their organizations. I'm going, just to hear others' wisdom!

This year marks the 32nd year of the PLoP conference held in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge at Skamania Lodge. Spark your creativity. Satisfy your itch to explore the potential of patterns. Submit a proposal for an Imagination Run Wild session. Feel free to ask me Qs

Took this photo about 10 minutes ago. Long shadows at sunset ... the view outside my window.

Dusk outside my home. A beautiful day in Sherwood, OR. Glad I stepped away from my computer today and worked outside in the garden (there's always garden clean up chores).

The view from my window this morning. Today's sunrise was spectacular! And a non-rainy day in the Willamette Valley lies ahead.

OK... I promise to make some techie sw posts soon. But this first--today's bake: a loaf of cranberry orange sourdough bread, fresh from the oven. The cranberry raisins were soaked for an hour in the juice of an orange. Cold fermented for 36 hours after initial proofing.

Ok.... I joined bluesky... and uploaded this photo for my profile. I picked it because it had blue sky... it was taken this spring as the geese were migrating.The view is looking south from my house. I hadn't realized how the birds and the clouds and the trees aligned... patterns in nature!
