Women’s March
Women’s March | Washington DC, January 21, 2017.
We spent the day marching along with millions of other people around the world today. 600 cities in 7 continents. The day after an inauguration.
The people stood up today. My heart is filled with hope on this very historic day.
And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can
Barack Obama, 2008
Thank you Mr. President.
The road to inbox zero
I have been suffering under email overload seemingly forever.
It has been especially difficult with our ever connected lifestyle (more on that subject in a future post).
But for the last 5 days I have been at inbox zero each day which may not sound like a lot but I have truly never, ever been an inbox zero kind of person. In fact, outside of declaring email bankruptcy, I never imagined it possible.
Ok, so without further delay, here is how I am doing it.
First step. Sign up for Sanebox. I’m not an investor but the founder is one of my closest friends. It is an amazing service that automatically sorts your important email from your less important email. I have been a paid subscriber since day 0.
Next, start using Inbox for Gmail on your phone and web browser (unfortunately there isn’t a native MacOS app).
I tried Inbox for Gmail when it first came out but it seemed odd to me, so I bailed on it super quick. But last week Nabeel encouraged me to give it a real try and I’m very happy I did. It took me about 15 minutes to really grok it. And after using it for a day it has become second nature. The combination of Inbox for Gmail and Sanebox is critically important so please follow the instructions here.
That’s it.
Krabi, Thailand
Krabi, Thailand | December 2016
We spent the last days of our trip on southern Thailand’s west coast. The limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and countless islands were truly stunning.

Siem Reap, Cambodia
Siem Reap, Cambodia | December 2016
After Bangkok, we spent 4 days in Cambodia. It is an easy flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap, Cambodia.
It is hard to fully describe our experience. The country has gone through so much tragedy and loss. And yet the kindness we encountered everywhere was striking.
I need to go back.
