  • Do You Need to Repot Your Career?

    I have discovered that whenever I read or experience something that reminds me of Scotty being sick – it tends to have a lasting effect on my mood. To prepare for the movie this evening, I read The Fault in Our Stars. I know it’s a teeny bopper movie but HB and I are going…

  • Be Thankful for The Difficult People

    Earlier this week I found out that someone that I am not fond of has been hired to do some work at one of the company’s that I am doing consulting work for.  When I said I am “not fond of”, It’s really not even close to covering how much I would prefer never seeing…

  • You Have to Make It Happen

    It was an unexpected snow day today! The kids were excited and if i am being honest – it was kinda nice to be able to have a lazy day. I need to get focused now –the holidays are over. It’s time to get serious about what i am putting in my body, get back…

  • Time to Rise Up and Move ON

    I woke up today in such a funk — I feel fat, lethargic and just plain down and out. I have been totally ignoring my normal eating and have seen it start to seriously show up. I can hardly fit in my jeans and my skin is breaking out. I seriously ate like 10 cookies…

  • Decide to Move On

    Here’s some food for thought that really spoke to me this weekend from Joel Osteen. “You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not…

  • Happy World Kindness Day!

    The reality of being told I wasn’t wanted is starting to set in. After seven years of caring – probably too deeply – about my job, they didn’t want me anymore. It’s funny what we focus on isn’t it? When I stop and think about the past seven years, it was clear that I had…

  • Kindness Reverberates

    Here’s another act of kindness to share. I like this one because it’s a great example of just a small gesture or act can reverberate larger than you can imagine. Sleeping Stranger Subway Picture On Q Train Defines Empathy And Is A Lesson In Being Good Just being kind to another human who probably will…

  • Don’t Settle For Less

    Someone asked me if I was still going to get up super early to workout while I am searching for a job –it’s not like I have to and there are later CrossFit classes. The answer is Yes, I am. I think sticking to some sort of normalcy while I am looking for my next…

  • Challenges Make Us Wiser And Stronger

    This morning was one of the toughest workouts mentally for me that I have had in a very long time. We were doing some upper body agility ladders and I COULD NOT DO THEM. It totally highlighted one of the areas that I seem to have a mental block – the connection between my upper…

  • Putting My Hat in the Job Market

    I had a big life change on Friday where by I am officially looking for a new career opportunity. I have often talked about life giving you lots of signs that you need to make a change — and if you ignore it or refuse to take some sort of action – -life tends to…
