Why the Peacock?
I’ve been fascinated with peacocks since childhood. Our neighbor’s screeching peafowl were “noisy” to some, but magical to me. A peacock’s call still evokes that mystical wooded backyard of my youth.

Life-Work Integration
Work Hearter, Not Smarter I always bristled at the saying from the 90s, “Work smarter, not harder.” It felt judgmental to me – so you are telling me that I am wrong for working hard? And, in the same breath, you imply that I must get the job done, or else?
Let’s add up this mixed message: If I A) [...]
