Yesterday I meditated on friendship, loss of my pal, and mortality at #niagarafalls.
So here’s my #KimPhilosophy at 55:
Love and make time for your peeps,
Embrace change,
Help people and Mother Earth when you’re able,
Choose joy,
and
Do not be an asshole.

What does it mean to be successful in a #scicomm career? I’ve been pondering this... Do I need a wide reach? Glossy bylines? Clout in the community? A team of people? My own business? Loads of published pieces?
Or can success be just writing from my heart for a few people?
