My brain can get itchy. Like - it loves what it’s doing right now, and it also wonders, What else is out there?
It’s the reason I’ve moved out of every job I’ve ever had - they get too comfortable. Sometimes it’s boring…sometimes I just want a new challenge.
But ultimately, every time I make a lea...
I want to start out today by saying that I didn’t mean to turn into the giant ASSHOLE that I did.
But it was two weeks before Christmas & I was sitting on my best friend couch.
We were enjoying the fire and the fact that the men were in a completely different room watching their noisy football gam...
Courageous people are a different breed than me.

As you can imagine, she was overwhelmed.
She’d been recovering mentally & physically from breast cancer for 4 years…

I’ll be honest with you, friend. I could NOT get my shit together at the end of 2019.
Yea, yea - it was holidays. All the family things. Gifts to buy & wrap. And travel.
So much distraction & overwhelm.
I spent a lot of time comparing myself to what other people were doing, and that sucked a lot ...
Today I gave a cursory glance to my right at a stop sign. Turned left.
And THEN it registered in my brain there was a car at that stop sign who CLEARLY had the right of way.
Oh, God. I’ve turned into THAT jackass.

I’m always thinking about what’s next. ...

I’ve been checking out social media on and off over the last month, and I’m always both impressed and stunned by what people can pull off during the most difficult most wonderful time of the year.
