Then I became an executive and decorated my office with copies of regulations, action plans, and whatever else kept the feds and state from calling… or showing up unannounced.

I discovered I have nearly 11 years of achievements that never got framed. That’s wild, considering that early in my career I would’ve framed my power receipts if they looked official enough.

Now that the temps are dropping, I’m ready to trademark a line of adult onesies that command respect. Cozy and chic w/ a go-getter flair.
I’ll have a business plan by Monday. Possible names:
Haus of Heat — Luxury meets leadership
Grit & Cashmere — Ambition, wrapped in style

Episcopalians, for example, have historically led in social justice, advocacy, and community service—a mindset that shapes my career, volunteer work, and everything I do. Prayers without action? Faith without teeth.

“Thoughts and prayers” don’t impress me—especially if they don’t lead to action. Faith isn’t just words. In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (55.8% of the global population), prayer should push us to show up, support, and advocate.

For my 29th birthday (😁): Forget the wrapping paper. Forget the candles. Forget off-key singing. I’m not just blowing out candles… I’m lighting the fire some have been waiting for. 🔥

Someone asked if I was wearing red heels. Why? Today is 9/11.
2001: USA united in courage & sacrifice.
-> Volunteerism soared.
2002: Medical Reserve Corps launched under HHS.
-> Later, I signed up.
2025: USA is divided.
-> Volunteerism is low.
Lesson: We’re stronger together.
