• Reconnecting & Tech Resource Offering

• Still Geeking Out

1. Enjoying the Gift of Time: It has been a wonderful opportunity to take a pause from full-time work—a gift I haven't unwrapped in over 15 years, not since before my daughters were born. I'm stepping into the outdoors more, enjoying the beach and engaging in sports like pickleball and table tennis. I'm also attending tech & other fun events, and spending more quality time with friends & family. It's all about enjoying life beyond the usual routine! 🌴🏓
2. Reconnecting & Tech Resource Offering: I'm thrilled to reconnect with fantastic people I've known over the years. Whether you're a friend, former colleague, or someone I've had the pleasure of knowing, let's catch up! This month is all about reminiscing and offering myself as a resource. So, if you may need help with a technology project on the horizon, especially those involving cloud software development, data, and AI, I'm happy to lend a hand. Whether you need a consult or just want to chat, drop a comment or message—I'm eager to hear from you! 🤝🎉
3. My New Virtual Assistant: Exciting news! I've welcomed a virtual assistant aboard. Friends and family, let me know how you'd use this service—whether it's making phone calls, aiding with online research, or other tasks. Your ideas are welcome! 💡👥
4. Ancestry Adventures: Our family recently embarked on an incredible ancestry tour to Dublin, Ireland, and Edinburgh, Scotland. 🏰 I was able to explore my roots and connect with the rich history of these places—it's like walking through the chapters of my own story. 🌍
5. Still Geeking Out: I'm continuing my adventures as I discover more great books, podcasts, online courses, and more this year! Stay tuned as I continue to share my latest literary discoveries and recommendations. 📚🎙️
