I'm celebrating 9 years at ICF. My expertise contributes to the conservation of species, lands, and water resources. My editing supports projects by making complex topics such as air quality, hydrology, and climate change easier to understand.
I feel lucky to have kind, dedicated colleagues.
I'm feeling sad, discouraged, encouraged, afraid, and outraged by turns, like so many of us. There are wonderful things in my personal life, too, which adds to the yo-yoing. If I had to roll all of those feelings into one it would be this: overwhelmed. Wishing you peace. #fightfascism #running
Four miles before work is comfortable. More than four early on a workday—not so much. I'm feeling grateful that I have this practice and outlet for my rageful feelings. #running #tapering #keepmoving #keepcalm #fightfascism
How are you taking care of yourself in these mad times? Here's some fabulous quince I found on my 5-mile run today.

More light. More caring. More love. More sharing. I am thinking about how we can cultivate connection, solidarity, and mutual respect—how we can protect each other and the most vulnerable. Start small. Start anywhere. Every kindness is worth doing. #fightfascism #running #4miles #savemedicaid
The quince is blooming! Thursday morning was my first run since Sunday. Work has been intense and I needed a rest, I think.

Cute mushrooms and the American River—shots from Sunday's 12-mile run.

Although the US is a shitshow these days, I still find beauty everywhere.
I ran 3.7 mi this morning. I did not achieve either the speed of intervals or total distance my app asked of me. Sometimes there's just not enough time before work—and there's so much work.

I guess there's no editing posts here yet. Oh well. I will have to live with my typo.
Looking for and finding the beauty in a day of good work, a few good deeds, texts exchanged with firends and my mom, and some necessary resistance activism. #evening #beautyiseverywhere #resistance #presscongress
That's too bad.
You called? 😄
A couple of shots from today's gorgeous long run—9 miles! #running #sundaysareforlongruns #keepmoving #keepcalm
Nice! I will endeavor to embrace this guidance. In my work as a technical editor, however, I do not often have the opportunity to push for this type of language change. I am glad to see CMOS 18 is out in front.
It was terrific! I recommend it.

Yesterday's long run was 8 miles. It made me happy.
I endeavor to bring more peace and safety and joy into the world.

Letting go of fear; drawing well-being around and to me.

All my library holds came at once! Yikes!
But aren't they yummy?

You guys! I got books for Christmas!
Weekend recharge run to fuel this week's editing. #sundaysareforlongruns #metime #keepmoving #keepcalm #4miles #winteriscoming
Friday was a beautiful day-off that started with a 5-mile run, followed by a 3-mile walk with a dear friend, and then pho with another friend! Asher and I visited the library, and Ian made chicken tikka masala. Life is amazing!

I have the same onsie, but it's not cold enough here to wear it yet. It's so cozy.
🍂🍁 Happy Thanksgiving! The salmon are running, my friends inspire me, my folks are well, my kids are amazing, and my beloved husband didn't die. I have so much to be grateful for! I'm sending my love into this glorious, broken world, praying for peace for all beings.
It's the time of year when lunchtime runs are possible—and the colors are breathtaking. #runningeditor #runningforjoy #autumn #neighborhood #2point5miles #autumncolors
I should have taken pictures of our gathering to celebrate Ellen, a manager-editor-geologist extraordinaire. Also, my tortellini lunch was to die for.
Tuesday morning's run before a full day of editing.
I frequently encounter this problem. As problems go, it's a pretty good one to have. 🙂
Sunday late afternoon. Taking a walk with a friend should be part of every weekend.
