I lost a friend this week, and this earth lost a kind, funny, good-hearted soul. My high school graduating class was small–only 44 people–and he is the first to leave us. Even though I hadn’t seen him in years, his death has rippled through our loosely connected community. I’ve said “I love you” to old…
Hi there. Hullo. Howdy. Hola. Whitney here, guys. Not Whitney and the team on this one, just Whitney. Hello. I’ve been wanting to write to you for a while. I’ll offer the standard apologies: Life gets in the way. It’s a lame excuse, but you know what I mean. We’re pretty good at filling our…

Hello! I’m not new around here, but maybe you are. This is the internet, after all. And five thousand people read this blog every month, by golly, which is something that sort of floors me. Every now and then, I think it’s nice to start fresh. I love cleaning off the countertop and table in…
I turn 39 this Friday, and I started my first biz when I was 22. It feels like a long time ago. I took $1500 of babysitting money, and over the course of the next ten years, turned it into a business doing almost two million dollars gross annually. It was awesome, until it wasn’t….
I’ve mentioned curveballs on this blog before, right? They seem to be good things to blog about, and blogging about them helps me see the good in them, difficult as they may be. This past April, the love of my life threw me another one. He’s getting good at that—too good, I’d say. I love…
