about

I live with my husband and two dogs somewhere between where we were supposed to settle down and wherever we end up next. I’ve spent over a decade in the travel industry and another in environmental health, a combination that leaves you with very few illusions and a somewhat compromised relationship with work-life balance, but I’m working on it.

We don’t have children in the traditional sense, which means our lives have been entirely rearranged by a succession of dogs. Tegan, Gavin, and Dexter (who pulled a Benjamin Button and somehow made it to nineteen) were our first children. Then came our first two girls, the Norwegian elkhounds, Tove and Sigrun. Full sisters who ran the household until cancer and old age took them from us tragically. Now there’s Sally, a rescued soul who walked into the quiet they left behind, and Bonnie, who brought immediate chaos. Between the grief and the dog hair, it’s rarely quiet.

This repository exists because I decided some of my thoughts need a home. There is no posting schedule, brand strategy, or sales funnel here. It’s just me blogging when and because I feel like it.

If you’re here specifically for Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis, I maintain a list of plain-language research and reliable links on my GPA Resources page.

I technically exist on social media, but I treat it with the neglect it deserves. If you need to reach me and don’t have my digits for a quick text message, an email to hello@candacewoodbury.com works best. Assuming I’m not outside, at a clinic, or being held hostage by a dog.
