The Snip
At risk of sharing too much, I have been snipped. I’m mostly sharing because despite tons of Googling, I had a hard time figuring out exactly what was going to happen, how I’d feel, and recovery would look like. Hopefully my timeline helps at least one person out there. I know other with vastly different timelines, but mine seems to fall somewhere in the…

2023 Starting… Now!
January was one of the most challenging months of my life. WEEK 1 Layoffs to start the new year! I survived, but 30% of the people who did what I did were suddenly gone.

As of the end of January, I am no longer on my bicycle team board. I served six functional years over the past five actual years; two initially as web and communications director, three as president, and one of those presidential years also as web and comms after a board member moved. Double duty with two of the more time-consuming roles with a one…
