I’m a California-based writer, organizer, cocktail lover, traveler, and tireless tryer of new things.

 

Collecting My Passions

I’m someone who often finds it hard to sit still, especially when I get an idea I’m passionate about, which is why I created and ran two businesses over the last 20 years (and nearly started a third, before I came to my senses).

While I’ve since closed those businesses, I wanted to create a place—this site—to capture their essences as a memorial and celebration of sorts.

I also want this space to serve as a venue for collecting and sharing bits and bobs related to the other things I’m interested in, including cocktails, exploring the San Francisco Bay Area, travel, and writing.

And so here we are!

 

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

What's Here

I’ve gathered here the greatest hits from the websites I created for my businesses, The Organized Life and In Our Cups.

For each business, you’ll find a bit of background info, along with the blog posts I wrote for and the lists of relevant links and resources I put together—organizing-related for The Organized Life and cocktail-related for In Our Cups.

One of these days, I’ll also start capturing notes, ideas, links, and thoughts that aren’t necessarily related to either organizing or cocktails.

In the meantime, if you’d like to connect, you can reach out on LinkedIn, and if you’d like to enjoy a steady stream of cat photos occasionally interspersed with other shots, follow me on Instagram.
