Leadership is a journey; there is no "destination." I always enjoy hearing from other local leaders who are willing to share their own journeys, wins, challenges, and surprises along the way. Thank you, Jenna Armato, Growth & Success Coach, @StephanieZiegler, @MeganLaRosa, @DaveMorrison, and @BauseCateredEvents for an inspiring #RefreshFriday at TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce. ![]()

Hey, fellow Working Moms - how do you get it done?![]()
I am a constant work in progress. ![]()
Am I slaying every goal every day? No. Most days I inhale lunch while taking out the dog, listening to voicemails, and figuring out a dinner plan. But, I did quit work early enough to play tennis with my kids this week.![]()
Do I sometimes work off hours? Yes. My to-do list is a constant shifting of priorities which sometimes means catching up while the family is busy with their own activities. But, each moment I get to choose: Who really needs me most, right now? ![]()
Do I feel like my time is my own and I have total control of my day? Never. But I'm getting better at saying No and asking for help.![]()
There are days when I feel overworked and overstretched. Those days are hard. But then there are days when my teenage daughter asks if she can come to my women's leadership conference and I think to myself, "Huh, Self, you're doing something meaningful afterall."![]()
Cheers to you, friends: For the good and the bad, the chaotic and calm (give me a break, that never happens).![]()
Happy #NationalWorkingMomsDay. #EqualOpportunity #MomBoss #WorkLifeBalance #Priorities
Most architectural drafting happens in CAD / BIM software these days, which allows easier collaboration between disciplines, more efficient drawing revisions, and practically infinite electronic backup copies of the design process. But, it wasn't that long ago that we were still producing design and construction drawings on mylar with color-coded lead holders and shape templates, and running ammonia-laden blue prints for hard copies. That's how I spent my summer and winter internships, in fact. I can't help but keep my old drafting tools around in hopes that I may someday get more time back at the old drawing board.![]()

Did you know...?![]()
The ridge is where two planes of the roof surface and structure intersect. Those roof planes may be symmetrical (same slope) or asymmetrical (different slopes). The ridge is usually covered with a cap that matches the adjacent roof covering (e.g. shingles or metal panels). Oftentimes, the ridge cap acts as a component of the roof ventilation system, which helps regulate temperature and moisture in the building's attic. ![]()
