• Hot Mess Survival Guide

    hot messWe’ve all been a hot mess—running late, hair barely brushed, coffee spilling, and somehow still expected to function like a responsible adult. But here’s the secret: no one really has it all together. Some people are just better at faking it.

  • Unrecognized Growth

    growthI’ve been out working since I was sixteen years old.  The training process has always come easily to me. With each new employer, I enjoyed the beginner phase. There is always new learning and processes to add to my knowledge base. There was one situation that came to mind and it was one where I experienced tremendous growth. 

  • Growth in Progress (Kind of)

    growthI’m 15 years old and I’m begrudgingly awake for the day trying to get ready for school. “Mommmmmmm…. What should I wear today?”  I could never make this decision easily.  She enters my room while I’m dozing against the doorframe of my closet.  “How about this?” as she pulls out a sweater.  “Nah – I don’t want to wear that!” I sneer.  “Ok – fine.  What about this one?” as she picks out a different shirt.  “Nah – not that one either.” I again reply.  “If you don’t like my suggestions, why did you ask me?” she queries.  “Well – now I know what I DON’T want to wear!” I bantered.  Mom then left my room, shaking her head.
