Writing and Art

I needto get back into a writing habit without stressing over how cool or relevant the topic. What seems to inspire me is looking at photos I've taken over the past many years and recalling something about the moment or... Continue reading

What will I bring?
A wise woman, with whom I was having lunch today, gave me a great suggestion in preparation for meeting my dad for the first time later this evening. She suggested that I spend a few minutes either in my head... Continue reading

Although it has been brewing for quite a while, I have recently felt a resurgence for wanting to do more cooking. Not just the regular stuff. New stuff. Trying new recipes and techniques and actually picking up some skills is... Continue reading

Black and Whites - Few and Far Between
Image
Although I tend to be drawn by color when I take photos, I do love black and whites. There is actually more drama in most of them. More feeling. More of a story. Perhaps it is the "what is left... Continue reading

Sabbatical - Day 25 - The fog is clearing
Image
It's been five weeks since my last day of work. This week has been the first week that I have felt even a little "normal." The first four weeks felt more like a time for watching and waiting. Watching what and waiting for what, I'm not sure. But that's what it was. Continue reading

Sabbatical Day 17 - It's Not Time Yet
What an interesting journey this is. I've spent the last couple of weeks kind of going with the flow. The only constant in my routine has been going to the gym in the morning and working my buns off. Beyond... Continue reading

Sabbatical - Day 2 - Now what?
HA! I have so many things on my list titled, "what I want to do with my time off" that I should never have to ask this question. But because I don't HAVE to do anything, it does feel a... Continue reading

Day 1-eve of my Sabbatical
I try not to have expectations around anyone's feelings, especially my own. Expectations usually lead to disappointment or confusion. Tonight, as I get read to go to bed knowing that I don't have to get up and go to work... Continue reading

Totally agree. The trick is finding this out before the hire. It's easy to see once the on-boarding process is underway, but then it's a little late. I'm a wing-it kind of gal in a wing-it organization so it is something I need to pay close attention to during the entire recruiting process. I also liked the "Disturbed" reference.

Margaret, if you can think of any lesser known MUST SEE/DO in either place, let me know. We are doing all of the major sights in each place but we have also left a lot of time for discovery etc.

Yeah, most of the time that same mistake isn't such a big one, but an HR person in this position is in a place of stress to begin with and, *sigh*, it happens. I hope that person had a dear friend or loved one that comforted her that evening.

What is your gift? What is your passion?
Identify your gift(s) and your passion(s). Combine them, roll up your sleeves (hard work), and then believe in yourself (faith). That is how you find success. Brilliant example of this in the video below. I think I might use this... Continue reading

Fighting the guilt
This is both a strange and a very familiar feeling for me. The tention between knowing that I need this trip, that I deserve this trip...and the guilt that I'm going alone. That I'm being selfish. I need to shift... Continue reading
