I’m obsessed with helping people. I’m not a doctor, therapist, convenience store clerk, park ranger, or general contractor, however – so I can’t help you with your foot fungus, daddy issues, lotto habit, insatiable botanical curiosity, or basement renovation. What I am is a writer, editor, and natural-born teacher with a tremendous work ethic and an innate desire to help the world be as lovely and humane a place as possible. So my blog is focused on sharing small lessons I’ve learned: small ways to be a better writer, a better worker, and a better human.

Change happens incrementally. Start small.                                                                                                                            

New blog posted weekly in either Small Ways, Red Pencil Scribbles, or Nice Thing o' the Week. To receive updates, find me on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
