    2020-08-10 It’s Definitely Time

    I happen to have pulled some long days lately covering for my PM who was out with a serious emergency. I happen to bust my ass and sacrifice quality time with my kids in these waning days of summer before school is back in session. I happen to decide that enough is enough and begin…

    2020-08-07 Let’s Do the Time Warp Again

    If there is 1 thing that I know as truth this minute, it is that 2020 will go down in the history books as a year the world was sucked into a swirling vortex of doom. As humans, we’ve had some bad years. Who is to say that what is happening this year is worse…

    2020-08-05 What’s Behind Door Number 3?… 🚪

    Now that my PM is back I’m seriously thinking about the exit strategy. Reducing my hours back to reasonable levels starting now and figuring out the best time to turn in my notice. It’s kinda scary. That safety net being gone, you know. After being self-reliant for so many years it feels like a crazy…

    2020-08-03 Hello August!! 🌸☀️💕

    Yesterday my love and I celebrated 6 months being married. I’m not super squishy sentimentally speaking but I do like to acknowledge these milestones. What a wild ride so far!! Never could have predicted how the first 6 months as a wife would be. Not in a million efffing years. For real. But, as I…

    2020-07-31 Adios July.. Don’t Let the Door Git Ya!

    Remember all that I was saying yesterday about riding out the hormonal storm until the crashing waves calm down? Yeah, just effff that. It really is easy to talk logic than to put it into practice sometimes. Listen. Yesterday was a bitch. Work sucked. And at the end of the day I was on the…

    2020-07-30 Thursday Status Update

    According to my FitBit I’m supposed to be getting my period today. I mean, it’s not 8am, but it hasn’t happened yet. I put myself in a holding pattern waiting for that sweet release, which is typically followed by a leveling of my emotions— the amplitude of the wave hovers closer to the resting point.…

    2020-07-28 ‘A’ for Effort: The Grad Party Edition

    And just like that half a week goes by. When they say “if you blink, you’ll miss it,” they weren’t kidding. There’s a lot of things I could gravitate toward writing about with this 30 minute set, but probably the most relevant is closing the loop with regard to my last post. That was 5…

    2020-06-23 Reframing Negatives Into Positives

    I’m gonna go with another 30 minute set today. I’ve not got much new anyhow. How about a re-frame session? Yesterday I had a great conversation with my friend, T, and one of the new thoughts that came out of it was the approach of taking a negative thought and reframing it into a positive.…
