Why is it that we are faced with challenges and we crumble? Well, not all of us. Some of us rally. Some people sparkle when the going gets tough. I want to be that person and yet, I am deeply aware that I am not that person. Give me a deadline and I’ll rock it.… Continue reading Rethink the recipe.

I told you that I would get into what it’s like to self-regulate or adjust your view when the situation warrants it. This can be so fucking hard because the first thing we have to do is strip away our ego. As we all know, the ego is a powerful and also, fragile thing, so… Continue reading Step back.

I think we spend a lot of time navigating the bumpy terrain that is human connection. I know we do. That’s all I really talk about here, and I’ve never really run out of material. I’ve revisited certain topics due to the subjectively assigned level of importance, but never have I been stumped in the… Continue reading Bumpy Road Ahead.

I was reflecting this morning about my growth. I am aware that sounds kind of pompous but it’s not actually. It is said from a place of great humility. It is my firm belief that we cannot continue to make meaningful changes unless we have a solid sense from whence we came. Along the same… Continue reading Take a beat.

I mostly don’t feel like I need to offer an explanation when I’m absent, but still, I feel a teensy bit compelled. I was tired last night, and I had all these ideas and I started to write, but there came a point where I was too fried to make sense. I couldn’t make anything… Continue reading What do YOU think?

That’s not to say that… Continue reading Own Your Story.

Maybe I’ve exhausted you this week. I feel pretty tired myself. I’m fatigued from what I am seeing happen all around me. I try to be understanding. Maybe that is part of the problem. I spend a lot of time trying to rationalize other people’s behavior or just make it make sense. It doesn’t make… Continue reading Sh*t just happens.

Another day, another enraging conversation with my lovely friend who is suffering at the hands of buffoons and thoughtless monsters. Here’s the thing I know for sure, I’ve asked myself and others one particular questions more times than I would ever care to. Ready for it? Okay. Here it is: if I were a man,… Continue reading Eat sugar…but don’t. Not really.

“Be messy and complicated and afraid and show up anyways.” Glennon Doyle Melton I have felt decidedly messy this last week. Grumpy. Out of sorts. I didn’t know what it was exactly. I couldn’t pinpoint the source of my disquiet. Then, two events happened in rapid succession and it all came together.  So now, I’m… Continue reading Call me back when you care.

I was on a call recently where the topic at issue was illegal activity.  One of the individuals on the call expressed surprise in learning of this behavior because the individual involved “seems so nice” and is “a family guy”. I engaged in one of my favorite activities, making everyone a little uncomfortable, by pointing… Continue reading He seemed so nice….
