This community is really important to me, so I want to let you all know what's going on in my life. I'm in the middle of getting ready to sell my house and leave for a long trip to visit family before coming back to California and settling in for a bit somewhere in the RV before running off to Scotland for a month. I'll pick things back up once we start traveling in the U.S., and things might slow down again when I'm in Scotland (unless you all want to see pictures and hear stories!). I hope you'll all stick with me and engage with each other - this isn't about me - it's about the expertise we all have in one thing or another and how we can help each other learn and grow. Thank you for your patience!

Did you know that we observe National Safety Month every June? By increasing safety awareness, the hope is to reduce the leading causes of unintentional injuries and deaths at work, on the road, and in communities. This month marks the 30th anniversary of National Safety Month. There are four themes throughout the month. - Week 1 (last week) was "Moving Safety Forward," focusing on advancing a proactive culture of safety by using forward-thinking strategies, tools, and planning to prevent accidents before they happen. - Week 2 (this week) is "Staying Safe on the Roads" - Week 3 will be "Promoting Holistic Worker Health" - Week 4 will be "Preventing Slips, Trips, and Falls" What can you do to participate? Here are a few ideas: - Consider completing First Aid or CPR Training - Take a defensive driving course - Do some safety checks around the home - check smoke alarms, identify fire escape plans - Host or participate in safety training or hazard recognition drills in the workplace How do you handle safety at home or at work? Do you feel that you are proactive enough, or do you think you could do more? Where do you fall on the sliding scale? Record your response to the poll below, and add something you could do better in the comments.

Quick reminder that we've got a virtual Meet and Greet scheduled for Tuesday morning. Nothing fancy - just a way for us to meet each other and chat. What would you like to know about me? What would you like to see this community grow into? 8:00 a.m. Pacific on Tuesday morning - I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Getting my hair done today. I’ll give you the Before and After. Here’s what my hair looks like right now… Bonus points if you can name this character. And then the after. Love some FRESH PURPLE!

I've just added 2 new events to the calendar. 1️⃣ First - this Thursday at 4:00 p.m. PST, I'm hosting a "Body Double" session. This is a work session, where we jump online together, have a quick 5-minute chat to introduce ourselves and what we're working on, and then we'll go on mute and work together. This is a proven technique to help us hold each other accountable in a positive way and actually complete tasks we've been avoiding or have simply had trouble starting. (Here's a 10-minute video that talks about Body Doubling and how it works) 2️⃣ Second - on Tuesday, June 9th at 8:00 a.m. PST, I'm hosting a "Meet Your Wayfinder." This is your opportunity to meet me and for me to meet you all. Ask questions, tell me what you'd like to get out of this community, and an opportunity to share what's going on in your life (no requirement, no pressure). Bring a drink and a snack and consider it a social event. Looking forward to seeing you there! 👀
