Oh geez. I don’t know what career advice I’d give to my 41-year-old self. I don’t even really know what my career is right now. Is this my career? What’s the difference between a career and a job? From what I understand, a job pays the bills, and a career is some sort of professional… Continue reading What career advice would you give to your 16-year-old self? 

Sometimes I pause when I read a statement like this. I’m not a grown up, am I? I’ve shared before the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night in my tiny apartment and thinking ‘wow, this is mine…I live in place all by myself’. I’m not ashamed of such thinking. I think… Continue reading Describe the moment you became a grown up.

Lately I’ve been pondering the whole ‘why bad things happen to good people’ business. Unfortunately, I’ve borne witness to some pretty shitty things happening to some incredible people, which is the origin of these thoughts. I feel frustrated.  What I’ve learned is that it’s not necessarily about the people who are telling you that they… Continue reading But, why?

I was always afraid of confrontation. Not the in-your-face-fuck-off portion of that whole deal. Nope. More the fear related to the outcome of such a thing. You know what I’m talking about, right? The proverbial ‘they’ always tell you to only ask the questions where you’re prepared to hear the answers (no matter what). Of… Continue reading What’s one conversation that’s transformed your life?

Well, hey there. How was the weekend? Mine was glorious. A few hiccups but nothing to do with my company or our activities. Just external forces. Friendships. Relationships. The world. Ya know, little baby shit. Anyway, I promised last week that I would discuss what happens if you get stung and I am a woman… Continue reading Post-Sting.

Okay. So, we have to attempt to avoid the water when it’s jelly fish season or when we are advised that they’ve come in for their own reasons mostly unbeknownst to us. We do the same with relationships. We try and not make major decisions to jump in or out when things are upside down… Continue reading Another time, another beach, another suit.

I was watching something the other night and the concept of l’appel du vide was introduced. I know that sounds horrifically generic. I mean, it’s not really appropriate to say ‘watching the other night’, but I was tired as fuck when it was on and I honestly can’t remember where I heard it. If you… Continue reading Into the void?

Hi. Sorry for the hiatus. I know that we still need to discuss how to do this. I mean, the movie was great and all, but we aren’t about to take our friends to court to divorce them, right? Sounds rather dramatic and honestly, likely easier than what actually has to be done. I don’t… Continue reading Fade to black…

What did I mean by more yesterday? Why isn’t someone’s best effort and intention just taken at face value? Well, because of the feelings underlying the effort and the authenticity of the intention. We don’t have to explore why someone might feel the way that they do, because we might never really understand (no matter… Continue reading It’s okay not to be okay.

I have a friend who recently told me that things feel hard when we interact. I didn’t necessarily disagree with her at all, but it didn’t feel like a casual observation of our relationship. It felt like an accusation. It felt like I was being told I am difficult. Fifty percent of that feeling came… Continue reading Always more.
