    I think it’s only appropriate that we sing “Thank you for being a friend” to ring in the new year! ✌🏼♥️

    rest in peace

    Happy New Year!

    Whether this past year has been a challenge or a blessing, it’s almost time to bid it farewell… This year has been both challenging and rewarding for me, but as I look toward the new year, I do so with cautious optimism for what’s next. “Now I have to remember you for longer than I’ve…

    Let it go…all of it!

    That thing that you’re holding on to, the person that you’re still angry with or those words that you wish you could take back…let it go, all of it. If you are desperately holding onto something, it may be time to accept that it’s not meant for you. If you are waiting for someone to…

    The Monday after vacation…

    1. “Rose are red. Violets are blue. I’ve got five fingers. The middle one is for you.”—My calendar when I was on vacation 2. “I’m both hellfire and holy water and the flavor you taste depends on how you treat me.” —Me, if I came with a warning 3. “The single star on Texas’ flag…

    5 years later…

    Five years used to feel like an eternity…nowadays 5 years can feel like 5 days ago. 5 years ago: 1. I had my beautiful natural breasts. 2. I had my heart broken. 3. I was a “newbie” at another federal agency. 4. I was still trying to decide if I liked living in Virginia. 5.…

    Who’s that girl?

    So, after a very long work week…it is time for another episode of #TreatYoSelf… After 5.5 hours last night…some thoughts: 1. Does anyone ever accept the first offer at a dealership? I was insulted… 2. Why are the finance people some of the most arrogant people in the place? 3. Why does it take so…

    Truthful Tuesday

    1. The Great Debate: The toilet paper at the beginning of a roll is better than the toilet paper at the end of the roll. 2. Dreams are important: I recently attended a wedding at a vineyard and winery, now I want to purchase one. I now realize that I will have to move to…

    Forced Friendships

    Over the past few weeks, I have had a couple people in professional settings try to force friendship on me. One example, a new colleague of mine wants to talk more often than needed, tells me to call if I ever need to vent, mentions getting drinks after work…etc… We are peers. We just work…

    Another birthday, another fresh start

    Another trip around the sun brings more self-reflection than any one person needs, but here I am…lost in the midst of what could have beens and what is yet to be. This year I’m making a promise to myself. I tend to say no…a lot. I can’t tell you why that is, but I know…
