Just wanted to post a quick update because there are a lot of things I'm working on behind the scenes that aren't yet ready for me to talk about, but hopefully will be soon. I also have several short publications coming out in February and beyond, so I'll be writing an update about those soon. I've also been on a number of podcasts and chatting with some lovely interviewers recently (and with a few more coming up), so I'll be updating this space soon with more info. Until I get myself organized and can share some news about all the stuff going on, here's a pic of my cats having a snooze. Hope y'all are adjusting well to the new year! (I can't believe we've reached 2026 - I'm still writing 2025 on everything, LOL.)

Searchable PDFs have become essential for modern digital workflows because they allow users to instantly find, select, and extract information from documents. Unlike scanned image-based files, a searchable PDF contains a hidden text layer created through OCR (Optical Character Recognition). This means businesses, students, and professionals can use keyword search functions to quickly locate important details without manually reviewing each page. Converting a scanned PDF to a searchable PDF improves efficiency, saves time, and enhances overall document usability. 3/25/2026 09:34:40 am
It is great to hear that 2026 is starting off with so many behind-the-scenes projects! Staying organized while juggling podcasts, publications, and new content is a logistical challenge in itself. I completely agree with the previous commenter about searchable PDFs having a text layer via OCR is a game-changer for digital workflows. In the world of high-volume logistics and document tracking, being able to instantly search for a specific 'data point' or 'tracking number' within a file saves hours of manual labor. Best of luck getting everything organized for the February updates! 3/25/2026 09:35:15 am
Don't worry, I'm also still accidentally writing '2025' on all my documents it takes a while for the brain to catch up to the new year! It sounds like you have an incredibly busy February lined up with all those short publications and interviews. Whether you're tracking your own career milestones or managing a complex business schedule, having the right digital tools is essential. Transitioning into a more organized '2026' workflow is much easier when you have reliable systems in place to keep everything moving smoothly. Looking forward to the updates! 3/25/2026 09:35:49 am
The mention of 'getting organized' really resonates with me. As our digital footprints grow, the ability to quickly extract information like through the searchable PDFs mentioned below becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. In my professional experience with global tracking and logistics, we've seen how much 'hidden' data exists in old paper trails. Converting that into searchable, trackable digital assets is the only way to stay competitive in 2026. It’s exciting to hear you’re working on so many new publications; I’ll be checking back for those podcast links! 3/25/2026 09:36:24 am
Congratulations on all the upcoming podcast appearances! It’s always rewarding when the work you do 'behind the scenes' finally starts to get the visibility it deserves. The transition into the new year is the perfect time to optimize your digital filing especially by making sure all your scanned research is searchable and easy to navigate. Just as we rely on precise tracking to know exactly where a shipment is at any given moment, a creator needs a clear 'tracking system' for their various projects and interviews. Can't wait to see the full list of your February releases. 3/25/2026 09:36:54 am
2026 is definitely moving fast! Your update reminds me that even the most creative work requires a solid logistical foundation to reach its audience. The comment about OCR and searchable PDFs is a great point; it’s all about making information accessible and 'findable.' In the logistics industry, we prioritize that same level of transparency and speed. When you can track every detail of a project or a delivery with a simple keyword search, it removes so much friction from the workday. It sounds like you're setting yourself up for a very successful and productive year! 3/25/2026 09:37:24 am
It is wonderful to see such a positive start to the year, despite the usual '2025 vs 2026' date confusion we all face. Managing multiple publications and interview schedules requires a high level of coordination and reliable data management. I find that as we move deeper into this decade, the integration of searchable digital documents is becoming the backbone of professional organization. Thank you for the quick update and the photo of your cats sometimes a little 'snooze' is exactly what we need before diving back into a busy February schedule. I look forward to your upcoming news! 4/11/2026 03:08:52 am
