We make #coachella a nonnegotiable part of our budget every year. To us, being able to ignore email for days to play in the desert is the epitome of the #workoptional life.

Mark scoping out remnant goodies at @squawalpine, with Tahoe peeking out. Lakeview Chair is still 👌 despite the epic melt-off down low.

I’m sooooooo excited to share this! I’ll be presenting a Big Idea talk on the main stage at #FinCon19! Can’t wait for @finconexpo!

PDX springtime. 😍🌸 More Portland pics in the stories .

Tahoe from the sky, predawn. ❤️

Peekaboo Tahoe view from @squawalpine. We can definitely feel the shift to spring, but are grateful for all the snow this year and the long ski season it will give us. (And of course it goes without saying that we are grateful for being able to ski midweek. It is a beautiful thing.) .

ONLs nonprofit affiliate link policy

The books I recommend include affiliate links, and the revenue from them ($.50 or less per book purchased) covers a small fraction of the out-of-pocket costs of providing ad-free, unsponsored content to you at no charge. In any calendar year in which affiliate income fully covers the cost of web hosting, photo editing and email list maintenance, I will donate all earnings above and beyond expenses to charity directly or to our donor advised fund for charitable giving, for the remainder of that year.
