The trees are budding here in Philadelphia, and we’re expecting our second nor-easter in less than a week. What the heck is going on with the world? In some ways, I feel like the weather right now is reflective of the journey that I’ve been on for the past few months. Times where I’m reallyContinue reading “Rebooting”

Joy comes in the morning
Yesterday was a rough day. I felt off kilter from the moment I woke up. I had everything planned in my head, but everything was off by half a step…from my commute, to my working interview, to the rest of my day. I’m not gonna lie…I was so disheartened, disappointed, disillusioned. I mean, I hadContinue reading “Joy comes in the morning”
Breaking trends
I left my job in the dental field almost six months ago. I was sick mentally and physically. I was so far beyond burnt out that I was unrecognizable to myself. Over 10 years ago, I left a church. I was mentally and physically sick. I was so far beyond burnt out from volunteering aContinue reading “Breaking trends”
New beginnings
This week is going to be a week of lasts for me. It is bittersweet. After 10 years, I am retiring from the dental industry…specifically from working in a dental office. I know more about periodontal disease, brushing, flossing, crowns and implants than anyone who is not a doctor or hygienist should know. I’m metContinue reading “New beginnings”
I’m a mess
I’m not usually a self-centered person. I generally consider others’ needs over my own. I will give and give and give until I have nothing left to give. I’m not usually an ego person either. I am willing to do whatever crazy, mundane tasks need to be done to get a group of people fromContinue reading “I’m a mess”
It’s a tough life…
Today my morning started with a breakfast meeting at a local diner. Next week, my Monday will start with a coffee meeting at a local diner. It’s a tough life, but someone has to live it 🙂 I am very aware of the transition that is taking place. I am starting to get traction, toContinue reading “It’s a tough life…”
Creative people
Today we had a meeting with one of the most creative people that I’ve ever met. We walked into the office, and I just kind of knew that my brain was going to be stretched. And it was. It was stretched far beyond its capacity. I love being stretched. I think that I am adjustingContinue reading “Creative people”
Muy interesante
Today I had perhaps one of the most interesting, mind-blowing days of my life. My day began with a breakfast meeting. I sat there listening to the two men I was meeting with talk, and I just chuckled to myself and kept shaking my head. I can’t go into details, but the one guy withContinue reading “Muy interesante”
The grass IS greener…
So, I started the new job today. Wow. That is all that I can say. My boss is energetic. He is really smart. He is intense. He is fun. I am very happy that I have made the move. I’m really trying not to make comparisons to my previous job, but it’s kind of tough. Continue reading “The grass IS greener…”
Best of…people
A while back, when I was thinking of leaving my job, someone quoted John Maxwell to me: You don’t quit jobs; you quit people. This paraphrase resonated deeply within me..mainly because one of the reasons that I stuck it out so long at my job is because of some of the people. Managers and co-workersContinue reading “Best of…people”
