6am, sitting on the couch together, drinking coffee. Macbook Pros & noise-cancelling headphones. Wordle scores posted in the family Slack channel. He’s studying for the K8s exam. I’m writing the last chapter of my O’Reilly book. I’d say something snarky about “geek love” but this really is wonderful

A New Years Love Note to my Friends

I haven’t done a great job staying connected – for reasons I’ve described here. But I want you to know that I’m with you and feeling grateful.

In the midst of this

In the midst of the pandemic, during a retreat, I take a breath. When I stop constantly swimming towards more, I discover enough.

Notes from our home in New York

I wanted to live a Year of Enough. Now, I live in a pandemic epicenter where there is no more. Ironic, don’t you think? Inside all the uncertainty, I’m discovering the seeds of enough.

Educating at home during viral times

In the midst of the pandemic, many colleagues are working while their kids are schooling at home. A few have asked, via social media, for strategies. Having homeschooled for ten years, I have some! Here they are.

What are you doing New Years?

Who gets ‘a thousand invitations’? How many invitations are enough? What are you doing New Year’s eve?

Into the inner garden

In the center of my inner world, there is a garden. I have arrived here. Just in time for the holidays.

On this Winter Solstice, I devote myself to exploring being, doing, having Enough. And publishing consistently about the experience.

Hit the Road, Jack

In two days, I leave on a month-long, drag-an-RV-behind-the-truck road trip. What - the frack - am I doing?

Wake up, Maggie
