What We’re All Asking For
Imagine you are sitting in a meeting, trying to pay attention but your mind keeps wandering back to all the work waiting for you. You nod and smile and provide an occasional “mhmm.” In reality, you are angling to get out of there as soon as you can and get back to work. Then, just […]

Sipping a Latte
Hello, sweet friends. I feel so glad to be sitting in one of my favorite coffee shops, sipping a latte, and writing something. It’s been a minute. Since my recent job change, it has been harder for me to make myself sit down and write. To put it plainly, the last thing I want to […]

QW – Make Up Your Mind
Hey friends! This week’s quote comes from a classic, L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. In all honesty, I am not currently reading it, nor have I recently watched the movie. The reason this quote came to mind is that I started a new job this week and a coworker had a sticker on her […]

New and Awkward
I’m sitting on the back deck at our house, letting my mind wander the different paths of anxiety, of anticipation, of excitement, of not-yet-knowing. I start my new job tomorrow and these paths all started at the trailhead of that thought. What will it be like? Who will I get to work with? How long […]
