Sorry folx, no deconstruction coffee hour tomorrow in Clubhouse. I’m traveling and @cortland.me is stuck under a pile of work. Hope to be back next week! ✨

Updating my profile, handle, (and pic) to better reflect my profiles across all platforms. I have been The Pursuing Life for so long, but I have recently started switching to just my own name and I feel more at home as a name vs a brand or org. ✨
