Where was I and why am I back?

Oof; you're really bringing the big guns, but that's a fair question. I was super active, got my dream job, then ghosted. Based on this trajectory, it seems weird that I ghosted and unrealistic to trust that I'm back. I'll be honest, I'm not even sure how much I trust myself for the second question, … Continue reading Where was I and why am I back? →

Book Inspired Musings: Love

As I write this, I realize that I published a pensive post at the beginning of last year, too, based on James J. Cudney's Watching Glass Shatter. This year, Holly Renee's Good Girls Series prompted my thinking. First, a moment to outline the book that lead to this post: Where Bad Girls Go to Fall. … Continue reading Book Inspired Musings: Love →

2018: A Summary

2018 was both awesome and a little terrible. I got a new job. A job I love and still love. A job where a new boss came onto the team, and while I love my team, I don't love the boss. BUT I'm learning lots of patience and new techniques for dealing with bosses with … Continue reading 2018: A Summary →

Woops!

Boy!  I should've done a WAY better job at anticipating this first week at my new job being a killer!  In the best way possible.  I met a TON of new people from all of our locations at the leadership conference, got fully indoctrinated just by watching the example the top leaders set through the … Continue reading Woops! →

What if I don’t FEEL like a bookdragon?

If you're anything like me, you swing wildly between two ends of the spectrum. Me writing a post: This is gonna be epic. It's one of the best posts I've written to date! Me wishing anyone would view, like, or comment: What was I thinking? I'm garbage at this! Why do I bring this up?  … Continue reading What if I don’t FEEL like a bookdragon? →
