Arbitrary Madness. Artistic Exploration. Dope Things.
Since I’m a relatively free woman, I reserve the right not to be boxed in. In fact, I demand it. So, even though today is Friday, I’m gonna write about what I feel like writing about. This isn’t Friday’s Top Five, but instead the tale of what I did yesterday. A tale of two poles. LetContinue Reading “Man, I love them strippas.”
I’m reading Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft and I’m really into it. Even though I can’t claim to have read a page of his other books, I can assign him the appropriate amount of reverence. He’s obviously been a big name in the business for decades, and he’s still spreading to NetflixContinue Reading “Writing blues.”
I’ve gotta be honest. This week I was procrastinating so hard on writing my Monday Mindfulness post. The truth is, I don’t have all the answers. I read all the time so I can learn as much as possible, because I know I’m a work in progress. I get a lot of inspiration, and IContinue Reading “Keep going.”
There is something comforting about reading about other peoples’ lives being driven into the dirt. In a completely unsettling, self-loathing kind of way. Reading Ariel Levy’s memoir, The Rules Do Not Apply, made me feel better about my life, while simultaneously making me fearful as hell that life is just a cycle of bullshit indented with periodsContinue Reading “The Rules Do Not Apply.”
In this edition of the Friday Top Five: 5 ways to maintain your sanity. This week, I learned there’s a right and a wrong way to maintain your sanity. I learned this through trial and error which means I spent a good portion of my week running a marathon in my mind. It didn’t getContinue Reading “August 4, 2017.”
One of my least favorite qualities in myself is my inability to make decisions. It’s not that there isn’t value in being careful about what you decide on, but the problem is, there’s a certain amount of stress involved with wavering between two points. Or three or four. When you decide everything else is tenContinue Reading “To do or not to do.”
The other day a good friend reminded me that my best today may not be the same as my best yesterday. Some days I’m just not as strong as I know I’m capable of being. That thing that’s wearing on me is kicking my ass and it’s taking everything in me not to wave theContinue Reading “Power up.”
Romance novels are like Hallmark channel movies with an extra dose of sexual tension, double the stakes, and three times the talent. So, the next time you’re considering watching the same tired Christmas movie, consider reading a romance novel, or better, listening to one. Why watch the same actors make the same piss poor facialContinue Reading “The Cinderella Deal.”
This week’s Friday Top Five is less a list of things I’ve learned, and more a list of things I wish friends of mine would instantly know about me. More specifically, things they should know about how I am socially. Let’s begin. I’m absolutely what they would describe as selectively social. I don’t know howContinue Reading “July 28, 2017.”
They say you only retain about 25% of what you’re taught. If you’re lucky though, the crap you retain will actually be meaningful in your life. I got lucky at least once in my professional development life, and I’m here to tell you all about it. Once upon a time I attended a project managementContinue Reading “Eat that frog.”
