Now that Thanksgiving is a few days away, it’s time to start thinking about what to say when asked the unavoidable question at the dinner table, “what are you thankful for?” I kid – hopefully you think about this more often than at you Thanksgiving meal, but regardless, it’s nice to have November dedicated as … Continue reading
I’ve been drafting a post focusing on what it’s like being a twenty something in the workplace for a few days now. However, thanks to a recent, let’s call it “incident” I heard about from a friend of mine, I’ve decided to add a new word into the mix. That word is female. I now present … Continue reading
I’ve had this topic written down in my notebook (yes, you read that right) for months now, but haven’t committed to it until this very moment. I haven’t been able to find the words to put it out there into the big, huge, never ending blogosphere. What if I’m the only one who feels this … Continue reading
A couple of things happen after you take a two week vacation. Yes, I said it. A two week vacation. It’s a new thing I tried this year (more on that effort later…) and I don’t think I’ll ever look back. I was lucky enough to visit London, Paris, and Strasbourg, and the only negative thing … Continue reading
I’m not going to call myself a resolution failure for the month of March, but I’m willing to admit that I took the easy way out. Three months in and I already had to admit that to you. Allow me to explain. For the past few months, I’ve been toying with the idea of signing … Continue reading
Last October, I wrote a post for my dad’s birthday, full of things I’d learned from him. At the end of that post, I promised a version for my mom’s birthday, which happens to fall on Valentine’s Day (cue the oohs and ahhs). To honor my mom’s true self, I’m showing up to this party … Continue reading
You probably thought I failed. It would be just like me (and the rest of the world) to have given up on my new year’s resolution now that it’s February. You know, two months in. I’m here to say that I’m still on track and completed not one but two new things this month! One … Continue reading
Last week, as I was taking the train home with dozens of other crammed in and awkwardly positioned bodies, a fellow rider did something so small yet so surprising it made most of the people in the train car turn their heads. He was standing closest to the doors, wearing a bright yellow winter coat with a … Continue reading
Humble brag: I’ve already completed my “new thing” for the month of January and we’re only 7 days in. Yes, you read that right. I, Master Procrastinator, have completed my challenge for the month of January. What did I do, you ask? I skied! And, probably more impressive, I didn’t (fully) fall; and I survived! Believe … Continue reading
As previously declared (yes, declared), I decided to start my New Year’s resolution a bit early this year. I wish I could tell you it’s because I’m on top of things or that I was rearing and ready to go with a year full of pre-sketched out and carefully thought through plans, but the truth … Continue reading
