Oh to be consistent
I’m still in the “new year” mindset, possibly fueled by all of the content all over social media pushing me to believe this will be my best year yet. But now two weeks into the new year, it doesn’t feel that way. I started with big scary goals, but the effort to match just isn’t…

There will be no download
“Happy New Year! I’m still waiting for the new me to download.” I sent the text as a play on the commonly said phrase, “new year, new me.” It was a joke, but based on how I spent my day today, it seems I believed my words to be true. As I made my pizza…

A year of mistakes
I should not have said that to my co-worker. I should not have sent that text. I should have followed the GPS. That was the wrong shade. I am going to be so late now. I made so many mistakes this year. What a successful year. Early this year, I set my resolution to make…

Taking on the main character mentality
I was at an event. I could have networked, but I sat idly by as my coworker worked the room. I told myself I was just an observant person. Upon reflection that was a cop out. I was just nervous about the awkwardness of trying to meet/be rejected by new people. It was a fairly…

Black Friday reflection

Special, special snowflake
It was long used as a pejorative for millennials, but I’m going to claim it. I am a special snowflake. I don’t write that to say that I believe I deserve special treatment or participation trophies just for showing up. I am just over wishing I were like everyone else. Snowflakes form their unique patterns…

I want to be like a banana
My bananas were overripened. It made me think I want to be like a banana. You add a banana to a smoothie, bam you know it’s there. There is no question as to whether or not it’s an ingredient in the mix. Banana bread. Definitely banana. You add banana to basically anything and it remains…

That wasn’t so hard
Today, I got home and spent relatively little time scrolling on YouTube. I was on a mission. I had seen a mouse and wanted to make sure I never saw one again. In the midst of all of my cleaning and rodent problem solving, I saw the bag of old clothes and fabrics that had…

All it takes is a choice
He quickly said, “I wish I could go on trips like that.” I replied, “All it takes is a choice.” Could you be living your dream life now, or are you content to just dream about it? Can you afford to go on that vacation now cut choose to keep putting it off? Be honest…
