What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Health – movement. Listening to my body. Resting when i need to instead of pushing until my body forces the issue. Grounding. hydration.

Wellbeing – writing. Listening to silence. Protect my peace and my energy. Letting go. Observation. Sunlight.

What’s the story behind your nickname?

Wow, this has the potential to be a long one. I have had quite a few nicknames over the years. But, we’ll just go with the most recent ones…

“Number Woman” – this was bestowed by a coworker due to not only my love of complex math, numbers and related theory (pi, phi, fibonacci, etc.) but my affinity for remembering random numbers. Years ago, when i first started at the company, this coworker walks in and says “11723 – make sure i remember that order number!” He went about his business, but was able to tell him a day or so later when he asked. i was dubbed “number woman” shortly thereafter.

“Siri” – my boss had an epiphany or something during a conversation one day, and started calling me Siri because he could ask what the weather is for the day, info he needed for work, or even random curious questions and i usually had the answer for him. Some of the staff picked it up too…

So, yeah, those are the stories behind my current nicknames.

What do you listen to while you work?

Depends.

At the office? Other people. The noises from the factory and warehouse.

At home? Music. Silence that isn’t silence because of the dogs and traffic going by. Me, talking to myself.
