To be or not to be? – 6/13/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. My job just got busier. I take my time to be sure that I produce quality, but I feel the pressure to rush, and it makes me nervous and might miss something, get it rejected, and will cause delays finishing by the deadline. I try to be a perfectionist…

Friday reflection – looking for simplicity – 6/5/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Why do things have to be so difficult? They could be so simple only if people would do, respond, collaborate, and share? I grew in my career with people who were willing to train and take the time to help. That’s not seen today. There’s only a few that…

Stagnant work is lifted or not? – 6/4/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. My prayers at 2am worked. I prayed and hoped for the best today before I got to work. I met with the investigator today with a naive state of mind. I explained my goals and asked each question and was patient. He gave me a simple, “no.” I will…

Sharing wisdom to those who want it – 5/25/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. Today and any day that my expertise is needed I’ll share even to the person that thinks her trickery is funny. I choose to ignore the trickster and continue to share my wisdom as kindness and rise above the pettiness that I faced earlier in the morning of 5/23/24…

Friday reflection, mixed emotions – 4/26/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. It’s been a very tough, emotional week. Without releasing personal details I got terrible news of my older sister who is sick and I can only pray for her to go into remission. On another note, I feel like I’ve been on a treadmill and haven’t been able to…

The very thing that could’ve hurt, didn’t – 4/16/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. I immediately made the decision to let go of this conversation. It didn’t stress me. I did get my “hand slapped”, but for a situation that I didn’t pick either or was involved from the beginning. The investigator commented, “ya’ll are negligent” and invoices never get out on time”,…

Now that I can, I can’t – 2/19/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. I appreciate the thought of a farewell lunch. I received an email from the Director today asking to take me lunch before I separate from this organization. The only day she has available is tomorrow, Tuesday 2/20/24 and there was no other time available for her. This week is…

Validated – 2/5/24
I hope everyone is doing okay. As I was reversing, my son mentioned the beautiful rainbow right behind our home this morning taking him to school. The thought ran in my mind hoping today would be a good day. Today I had a slow pace working day. I’m still getting over a small cold. You…

Friday reflection – from loud noise came the nice view – 1/26/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. I have to admit the kitchen cabinets look great. I loved the cabinet builders ideas and mine. He was nice and patient, captured my vision. In contrast to the contractor hired to bring in all the builders, he doesn’t get me, my vision and doesn’t do his due diligence.…

On a personal note – When it rains it pours – 1/11/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. Going into 2024 I took on more than what I could chew. I’m anxious because I’m not ready for a big day on Tuesday. As much as I try to put things in order it’s not working. My kitchen is torn up and the noise is loud, dealing with…
