A Week in Berlin
My Internet radio makes sure I’m aware that local Oktoberfest celebrations are happening. While I have never officially been to an Oktoberfest occasion, I was able to enjoy a beer in Germany a few months ago. It was when I was in Berlin for a team meetup. The city wasn’t at all what I thought…

Pana-memories and Meetups
It was just a bit over a year ago when my team gathered in Panama for our annual team meetup. Little did we know how fortunate we were to have that time together. Thanks to global COVID shutdowns shortly after, our team was one of the few that actually got to have a meetup. It…

Rings and Things
About 16 years ago, my husband got a tattoo. It was a wedding ring, and I love it. He often works with heavy equipment and didn’t want his ring to catch in a machine, causing him to lose a finger. Good idea. While I love my own wedding and engagement rings, I don’t totally love…

First Local Meetup for the Southern Tier
It’s officially a “thing.” 🙂 Tonight was our very first NY Southern Tier WordPress Users/Bloggers Meetup…and IMHO, it was really fun. Chris (my husband) and I were the meetup organizers and thought maybe one person might show up. While making blogs and websites is totally cool and awesome, we know people are super busy.  But…
