In therapy this week I said to Ali, “When I look back over my life, these 5 1/2 years in Seattle will be counted among the good years.” Has these years been simple or easy? No. Have I struggled? Oh hell yes! But when I think about the co-creation done here with the Divine, […]
7 days from now my cats and I will be on a plane to Newark. We are going to Marilyn’s to chill for a couple days before our trek to Stockholm on the following Monday (11/6). The truth is…this is the crunchy hard part of this experience for me. It’s where the number of things […]
Below is the goodbye letter I wrote the team at Providence Digital Innovation Group today. I’m sharing it here because I want the world (or at least my little audience) to know what they’ve meant to me. In the aftermath of Expedia, DIG did the healing work on my heart and confidence. If Klarna wasn’t […]
Yes, I am getting excited. But the truth is, while everyone else is adjusting to the idea of my moving to Stockholm, my closest family, a few friends, and I have been adjusting since about mid-August…and we knew it was on the table since late June. Needless to say, the drag from June to November […]
18 days to departure… Important things happened today including: Lunch with Jen A Massage with Chandra Dinner with Therese Interspersed in between were interviews with potential candidates for my new team, trips to the bank, phone calls to the moving company, and a trip to pick up the check for Daisy. The important thing for […]
Well, it happened. I am now in the teens when it comes to days left in Seattle. As I think about the upcoming days, I am faced with so many emotions. I am so eager to get to Stockholm and get settled. I’m excited about starting a new job and meeting my team. I am […]
Many people have asked me how I decided to move to Sweden. I’ve told this story quite a few times, but I wanted to share it here for those who are still curious. 🙂 I took my very first job in payments on September 10th, 2001. Most of my career since then has been spent […]
A little over a year ago, I became the technical owner of an acute Telehealth platform. I quickly understood the gravity of what I’d been given and the impact our technology could have on lives. It meant we had to be super diligent in how we thought about communication, scale, and the way the technology […]
I cannot delegate kindness. I will not abdicate compassion. I shall never abandon my responsibility to humanity. I look around the world and wonder why some people think that the above rules do no apply to them. I am stunned at the people who stand at the edges and behave as though the rest of […]
Lately I’ve been having a lot of conversations about my skills, talents, abilities, hopes, and goals. As a rule the thing that these conversations have in common is some indication of my value. This value is sometimes calculated by how much I can offer but is most often calculated by how much money my work […]
