This week, I was inspired (um, as usual) by my BFF ElizabethPW who has had her own stuff to deal with in the home she moved out of a few months ago to move to San Francisco. Her experiences reminded me that I had been coasting on a false sense of “Stuff Under Control” syndrome. [...]

Note from Allison: I never planned or intended to write this. It literally spilled out of me, totally unexpected, today in Starbucks. (And yes, I was a sniffling, crying mess in public.) Even after I wrote this, I didn’t intend to publish or share it. But after some thought, I decided that this is a [...]

After much (probably too much) soul-searching, I decided not to join in on the mayhem, the fun, the awesomeness and the good times sure to ensue down in Austin this weekend and beyond. [Note: This blog post is all about what [...]

Earlier today (Saturday is a big thinking day for me!), this title came to me. Then, later, I figured out what it actually meant. And here is the point, simply: We make stuff complicated. Way more complicated than it needs to be. And we get caught up in the complicatedness of it all, so much [...]
