I wear my heart on my sleeve. I don’t have a poker face. But…I also don’t do vulnerability well. Last night I sent an SOS to my female, life-long, heart-to-heart friends. It was difficult. One of my friends called me immediately. I was on the phone until 1:11 AM. I am exhausted, but it wasContinue reading “Vulnerable”

Crash…bang…boom
So, I crashed my car for the first time today. I think my track record is pretty good considering that I’ve been driving for 16+ years. Noone was hurt. I don’t react well to stressful situations. I am very proud that I mostly held it together. It probalby helps that the guy who was involvedContinue reading “Crash…bang…boom”
Cycles of friendship
I am continually amazed at how cyclical life is. For everything there is a season… Now that I am getting older, I am starting to be able to see things for what they are. I am starting to know my patterns, and I am starting to see the patterns of other people for what theyContinue reading “Cycles of friendship”
Blessed beyond belief
Last night I had a conversation with a good friend. We were marvelling at how things we’ve wanted for so long come to pass, and it feels like “suddenly.” She had a dream a long time ago to open a salon…she knew what she wanted the salon to look like, to be. She andContinue reading “Blessed beyond belief”
Leadership a la Deneen
I’ve learned that management is mistaken for leadership all too often. Management, in my opinion, is maintaining the status quo. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. For me, this is frustrating. I know I’ve been spoiled in the past. I was introduced to leadership at the first church I ever grew roots in.Continue reading “Leadership a la Deneen”
To-the-end-friends
This weekend I had the opportunity to hang out with some of my best friends in the whole world. I hadn’t had a visit with them–more than a few stolen minutes at a wedding–in six years. When Lynell picked me up at the airport, I felt as if I’d seen her the day before. I’veContinue reading “To-the-end-friends”
St Patty’s Whirlwind
I am amazed at my dedication to celebrating a holiday I’ve never acknowledged before. I usually live a pretty boring life. Work. Consulting. Gym. Little leage baseball. Tanning. Reading. Blogging. Occasionally I go out with my friends. Usually once every two weeks or so. I like to pace myself. This weekend, I filled myContinue reading “St Patty’s Whirlwind”
Day off
Some days just put things into perspective. I needed a day off. Seriously. I got up late, threw down a protein shake, and headed off to get a massage and a touch up. I’m gray, proud, and hiding it every four weeks. When I got to the salon, they didn’t have my name in theContinue reading “Day off”
Subtle insecurity
I’ve been reading the Twilight series. It’s eerily engrossing. I don’t know what it is about a story about a girl who is in love with a vampire yet best friends with a werewolf that captivates my free time. A theme that I’ve noticed tonight in the book I’m reading is how two of theContinue reading “Subtle insecurity”
You…you
You make me a better person just because of who you are. You make me want to give more, to do more, to be more than I currently am. You give me confidence because you believe in me, even when I can’t. You see in me what I cannot see due to years of brokenContinue reading “You…you”
