It has been a while since I posted; honestly, there is no excuse. I have been busy, yes, but that is usually when I thrive. The issue is living in limbo without a plan; that freaks me out. I know first-world problems. I have a roof over my head, a job, food… nothing to complain…

Damn, you brain. I have stated before that I only realized my intelligence less than five years ago. I know this sounds wild, but it’s my reality. I sometimes feel like I have two brains, one that is driven and hyper-focused and another that is scattered and struggles to recall words or remember the most straightforward fact.…

I am at a crossroads. I jumped and took a leap of faith, unsure of where I would land. This, for some, is exhilarating, but for me, it is unsettling. I plan everything, literally everything. I make lists and lists and then more lists for the same thing. Sometimes, I add, subtract, or lose them, but writing them is…

One of the most un-used words in the English language is No! We seem afraid to say No! to people, especially children. Imagine if their feelings got hurt. Imagine if they had not gotten their way. According to them, I must confess I ruined my child’s life at an early age. I said No! They responded that…

Shhhh… stop and listen or rather hear what is being said. Have you ever felt like people do not hear what you are saying? I feel like this is a lost art. We focus so much on people and their listening skills when we should focus on their hearing skills. People can listen to you…

When does it get easier? Life, that is. It feels like everything is a fight. Things that should not be a fight are a fight. I have been in a rut lately. I feel lost Without much direction and the pressures that would make others panic. This makes little sense to most, but I am…

When we were kids making friends seemed to develop out of proximity, like being in the same class or being forced to spend time together because your parents are friends. It was easy, or so it seemed. I am lucky to work with one of my closest friends. Working with someone you trust and know…
