PHYSICAL

• Fi Collar - my dog loves to explore the neighborhood and hunt for lizards with or without me. The Fi collar lets me locate him when he’s on an extended hunt. It also allows me to notify other Fi users that he’s lost. The app let’s me see where we walked or where he walked with the dog walker. I thought it was silly and indulgent at first, but now I love it.
• The Fudenosuke brush pen - especially the hard tip - helps me get my hand lettering game back on track when I've been lax in practicing. The harder tip ensures more consistency in the amount of pressure I need to apply for various line thickness. It also gives me more accuracy when trying new styles.
• Dashing Diva Manicure Stickers - They’re not for everyone, but if you love manicured nails and either hate paying for a manicure, hate what a gel manicure does to your nails, or can’t use nail polish with your non-dominant hand, these are the perfect solution to great looking nails.

DIGITAL

• Night Cafe Studio AI Art Generator - It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot of fun. It can be useful, too. I’ve used it to create images for character boards for the novel I’m plotting. When I can’t find the right picture for a social media post for work? Night Cafe Studio to the rescue!
• Libby app - I love books of all sorts, but making time to read is more arduous than I ever thought possible. Libby to the rescue! It links to your library card and gives you access to thousands if not millions of books. Currently, I’m listening to my 30th book of the year.

INVISIBLE

“Who are you from?”

I work with a lot of Global Nomads, and the “Where?” question is sometimes difficult. The “Who?” question is difficult at first, but eventually it opens up a literal world of influence when we think about all the places that impacted the people who impact us.
