And in the Blink of an Eye…
… Six weeks have passed and I am trying to get back to routines. I decided to take a temporary position for five weeks, thinking it would be a good opportunity to get out of the house for a bit. When I applied, I had only really wanted part time hours as I wanted to… Read more

What do You Need Right Now? (AKA Time for Some Tough Love)
I wish my title was, “How I Turned it all Around & Am Getting So Much Done”. If you read my last blog, Chevrons of Doom, you know I’ve been struggling to get things done or see results from all the work I feel like I’m putting in. Each day as I continue to >… Read more

Chevron of Doom
It’s funny. Since I haven’t been working, I feel like I’ve been busier than I was when I was working. Although I feel like I’m doing a lot and staying busy, I just don’t have a sense that things are getting done. Take yesterday for example. I had 10 things on my task list and… Read more

Birthday Reflections
Today is my birthday. I’ve been alive for 52 years as of today. I still do the math when asked how old I am because there’s no part of 52 that makes sense to me. Did I miss my late 30s and 40s because I would swear I’m only 35. (My joints would suggest otherwise.)… Read more

In My Day, You Just Had to Know Things
If you’ve read the title and assume I’m going to date myself, you would be correct. As much as I try to imagine that I’m still young and adjusting to changes as though I’m in my thirties. I am not. I can remember feeling like the most disadvantaged child because my parents never bought the… Read more

I Never Win Anything (Except When I Do)
Yesterday, I had the most amazing day of learning and I was a WINNER! Since starting out on this writing journey just over a month ago, I’ve been amazed by the level of training, webinars and special events that are available. Many are precursors to getting you to sign up for training or coaching or… Read more

Finding a New Normal (for now)
It’s been a week since I pressed the reset button and decided to take my life in a whole new direction. Fortunately, I have some time before everything needs to come together and I want to use the time productively. As someone who has ADHD, freedom is nice and I’m enjoying the opportunity. But also,… Read more
