Yesterday I made a decision that might have cost me millions of dollars. I don’t say that lightly; I was offered the opportunity to work with renowned scientists on something that has already received millions in grant funding and is already protected by a patent. Nothing in the business world is ever a sure thing, but this concept certainly has legs, to say the least.
Okay everyone, here we go. I have a plan. Well, kind of. It’s only for about 4 months and, as you’ll read below, it’s lacking in detail. But I don’t tend to plan that far ahead or in any detail (as you can tell from my impromptu Cozumel trip this week – more on that in a future post – and the fact that I quit my job with no backup option ready), so this is actually pretty good for me.
It’s been about 3 months since I quit my job. In that time, I’ve essentially pushed a reset button for my life. I’m remembering all the little things that give me joy, accepting and embracing all of my many quirks, and letting go of external pressures and expectations. And I’m enjoying every bit of it.
Exciting news! I wrote an article for SwimSwam about how athletes (and everybody else!) can help friends and teammates who have depression. Hopefully it helps keep the conversation about depression out in the open and gives some ideas to people who want to help their friends but worry that they’re doing it all wrong.

Hello friends! Glad those of you who prefer introspective content are still reading despite my rather glib posts lately. Actually, I’ve been planning this post for a couple of weeks, with the intention of writing something a bit more serious and personal – it’s just that serious posts take longer to write! But something happened yesterday that has made me want to write. So here we go.
It’s been about a month since I started working on my site and two weeks since it went live. Up to this point, I’ve left the About Me section empty, providing visitors with just two words: “Coming soon.” Very informative.
Those of you who know me well will know that, despite my technical aptitude, I’m often among the last of the ‘cool people’ to get with the times when it comes to the digital world (do I count as cool people? I may have just given myself an undeserved promotion). But lately I’ve made somewhat of a push, highlighted in the last month by: Numerous selfies on my recent trip to Europe. My first #hashtag (am I doing it right?). The new smartphone I got last week! And along with that, my first usage of WhatsApp, Messenger, and Uber.
