When I first met my current boss he told me that outside of all other qualities, there was one that he considered to be most important in evaluating an employee, accountability. This might be why we’ve been a good pair for the last decade, as accountability is hugely important to me as well. I believe… Continue reading Day 96.

[CRAFTED YESTERDAY]. It was a beautiful day today. I started the day by going to brunch with my parents to celebrate Father’s Day. It was a strange feeling, being out, but also lovely. The place we went to made us feel entirely comfortable. They followed social distancing guidelines and wore masks. Menus were paper to… Continue reading Day 95.

I was having a discussion with someone yesterday about friendship. They were running a scenario by me and seeking my feedback. We all know I love to give feedback, amiright? Anyway, they were explaining that a friendship they had was becoming toxic in some fashion. Actually, the more they explained the friendship, the more it… Continue reading Days 92-94.

This morning I had a really unpleasant exchange with a professional colleague. Really, really unpleasant. I was criticized and condescended to, and not in a way where I could extrapolate some lesson. The chastising and bullshit happened in a way where I felt like shit after it occurred. I had to forward the exchange to… Continue reading Day 91.

I’ve spent a good deal of my life striving to do for others. Mostly because I was raised that way. Mostly because I think, I know, it is the right way to live. No matter what I’ve been through, I still keep to that mantra. However, an adjustment was required. Every hurt that I suffered,… Continue reading Day 90.

I was sent a post from Instagram today (credit: @healer_prince) that read as follows: “Most of you were never my friends. I was just yours.” Powerful statement, huh? You might take offense to it as soon as you read it. Or maybe, just maybe, it gives you pause. Maybe it makes you think. Let’s start… Continue reading Day 89.

Family. Ripe avocados. The smell of a fire pit/place. Gerbera daisies. Quiet streets. The first coffee of the day. A new pack of gum. A found lip balm. In-season watermelon. A good pair of hoops. An old book. A new book. A first kiss. A familiar kiss. Sunshine. Thunderstorms. Warm cookies. Fresh fallen snow. Snap… Continue reading Day 88.

This post is dedicated to my lovely mama and the following young ladies who I am very lucky to know (aka my heroes/our future): Victoria, Esther, Mia, Maria, Neeka, and Zoe. I was in weird mood last night. Not a bad mood or a sad mood. More contemplative. Sometimes this happens after I spend time… Continue reading Days 85-87.

I was recently asked on a social distancing date. I think a little bit of background is beneficial, so I’ll digress for just a moment. The gentleman in question is educated, well-traveled, professionally accomplished, and just an interesting person all around. He is also kind, intelligent, and funny. Bottom line? He seemed like a good… Continue reading Day 84.

Today is a double-up kind of day. First of all, I have a lot to say about something (which is shocking, I know). Secondly, tomorrow is my pop’s birthday so I’m going to be disconnecting from everything to celebrate the crap outta him. I don’t do that often, but he’s totally worth it. I had… Continue reading Days 82 and 83.
