Ramblings

I’m impressionable. I’m a trend-seeker. I’m an adopter, a consumer, a follower… The word “influencer” is known but there is not really a word for the person who is influenced. I’m trying a few of those out for size. I don’t really like any of them. Although, I am impressionable. Swati invited me to a […]

A close work friend from 5 years ago had reached out a few months ago for two different job opportunities. One of them was with her husband. He’s the president of a high-end luxury brand that sells B2B and B2C. He wants to expand their eCommerce as they are primarily using distributors. Kind of similar […]

The art of figuring out how to be productive and happy. Ha. That was what popped into my head as I tried to figure out what to write. I am sitting here trying to figure out how to get myself out of the house. I wanted to go see Danny in soccer this morning. But […]

160+ resumes. 20 stand-outs. 6 interviews. 3 finalists. 1 hire! I just hired a Digital Marketing Specialist. It is always an exciting time, imagining working with someone new and what they will bring to the team. So many exciting jobs to be done… This search gave me a few takeaways I wanted to share for […]

I’ve been sitting on this post for 6-9 months and just adding to it as it sits in my drafts. Things that feel good and make me glow: Being called a “People Developer” from someone who I feel I didn’t have an amazing relationship with so that was fun to be called that. I will […]

I was doing a 10m weight workout this morning and my brain started obsessing/overthinking/ruminating in the last few minutes – over what, I don’t remember – but I bent over to pick up my weights for the last minute push and I slammed them into my knees. Both knees. I literally burst into tears. My […]

It’s Sunday morning at 7:13am. I wanted to work out today but this cold is… not kicking my ass but being a drag. I miraculously stopped dripping yesterday and today I’m fine but I feel this 8lb weight sitting on my chest. Or, it’s a lock that’s keeping my heart from stretching. It’s constraining. And […]

Sitting here on a quiet Sunday, with my new weighted blanket covering me, after pulling the Strength card which was so nice. Although, did I need to pull that card to keep me from losing it knowing I was coming up here to type in a quiet house? #thingsthatmakeyougohmm What a 2025 I’ve had. I […]

Wow, I actually wrote 2025 in my title before erasing it. 2026. I don’t know if it’s hormones or that it makes me truly sad to write that. It brought tears to my eyes. I have been crying about ridiculous things all morning so there is that. So I will spend time here reflecting on […]

It is complete silly to be crying on Christmas morning at 630am but here I am. I slept horribly. I was up at 130 thinking I had such a long sleep. At 430 I was up and at 5 I realized that I couldn’t get back to sleep because I was hearing the high pitched […]

Part 1 wasn’t that exciting but let’s jump into the next batch! EXmas – 2023 (Amazon Prime) – OH MY GOSH, how did I miss binging on all the Amazon Prime holiday movies? This one was immediately 5 stars when the parents started off guilting their son and asking him, “Should I call your boss […]

It’s been six weeks since we had John’s memorial. It feels like no time has passed, and it feels like he’s been gone for much longer than seven months. I’ve been trying to gather my big moments of the year and it keeps jolting me that this is the year that he died. So strange […]

Episode 1 & 2 of the Taylor Swift Documentary was EVERYTHING but it was better because of who I was watching it with!

This took the place of my journaling so figured I would add it here, since I added 2024 here too. Happy Birthday Truck!  I made reservations for Griffin’s Holiday Recital as soon as possible and was able to score second-row seating. While flipping through the program, I noticed three children with the same last name. […]
