Sometimes I feel like I might be nagging the busy women I pursue for Bright Ideas. Take my new friend, Wendy Black, for example. She was ever so apologetic when she had to beg off meeting with me right away, because, having moved to Rock Creek recently, she was busy “getting back to her commitments.” I took one look at her To-Do list and I knew I had my post. Here’s Wendy’s month: Placer County docent; Colfax Elementary School art docent; State Theatre volunteer; Spiritual Book Club; exercise at Senior Center; supervising home repairs; landscape maintenance in her new yard; personal art projects. Oh, yes—she also say she wants to finish her genealogy, “before I die.”
Did you notice how Wendy’s name matches her personality? Perhaps her parents perceived she was a whirlwind at the get-go. Don’t worry, I will catch her for an interview next year. In fact, there’s a good chance you’ll read several posts on Wendy in 2026!
I met Wendy lately and was so impressed with all her “projects”. She was a very welcome guest at our table recently at the annual lunch at The Ridge. Looking forward to getting to know her better. If she ever slows down I’d like to invite her to go to lunch 😊 Welcome to Rock Creek, Wendy.
Good luck with that, Sandy!
Wow! Just reading her to-do list made me tired. Sounds like my life. So happy that she has so much energy and is so well-rounded. She has a volunteering spirit which is so wonderful. Welcome to Rock Creek, Wendy!
Wendy never really seems tired–maybe that’s because she knows how to pace herself. That’s a real skill in itself. Thanks for checking in, Rhonda.
