I recently started an amazing job – – an opportunity that I’m so thankful for. And I’ve gotten the opportunity to work with many accomplished, talented and badass women over the past 4 months – – to say it is inspiring is an understatement. But a common theme remains no matter what job I work in, people seem to react VERY personally to criticism and to get upset about things that I don’t even notice.

How would you like to be perceived? This is something we all think about (consciously or unconsciously) but think about it – – how do you want people to think of you?

Spring equals happiness to me, I love the sound of the birds, the smell of the musty grass and all

Have you made choices to not do something that you know would make yourself happy and proud just because you’re worried about how some people may react? If so, you’re normal.

2017 has arrived, and I don’t know about you but a new year always fills me with the excitement of everything to come: new opportunities, new adventures, hopefully continued happiness and health, success etc. I always have big dreams for the coming year and set my New Year’s resolutions and goals with all my hopes and dreams in mind!

How many of your have ever felt like you had a to hide who you are or change to fit in and be accepted? The excitement of a new friendship and new coworkers is a great feeling that many of you can probably relate to  – – it’s great to feel a connection with someone you share mutual interests with.
