I can’t stop writing. Preserving my power with each stroke of my pen. (Or keyboard.)

Launched a newsletter today on LinkedIn for helpers who want to do good without being undone and in a few hours, it had almost 5,000 subscribers. So thinking I’m not alone here. 👀

I searched #book and read the posts and I feel better already.

Here’s my book baby, but I’m writing a memoir now. 💙📚

People are sending me news clips about the inauguration.

I’m busy watching WICKED.

Thank you for reattaching the finger you bit off.

Thank you for putting out the fire you started.

Thank you for catching the ball you dropped.

After a few weeks in our other spot, landing “home.” Which also means back to my regularly scheduled program.

Let me finish this book so I can help change these clients’ employee experiences real quick. 👀

60,000 words.

Now the hard but fun part: the chiseling.

God told me to write this book a decade ago, but timing is everything.

It’s time. 🙏🏽

I’m receiving all manners of good thoughts and prayers.

I’m at the part of the writing process where I want sleep to pass quickly so I can get back to my manuscript.

This feels so good, especially after sidelining all 40,000 words of the previous effort.

It’s getting better—in big and small ways. Can’t wait to share it with you.

I am here. The expanse of the ocean reminds me how small I am in the grand scheme of things. And if I’m this small, my problems are even smaller.

Cable news is dead to me. Not just because of the normalization of madness, but because consuming drama every day is bad for my mental health and my ability to be creative.

My creativity uses optimism as fuel. That source isn’t out there. It’s in me.

It’s not a perfect 7-up cake, but I’m trusting it will be perfectly delicious. This is usually my mother-in-love’s thing but she couldn’t make it this year. 😢

Have you ever eaten ketchup chips? My new obsession.

I had to order them from Canada. Probably the last time I’ll get them for only 12 bucks a bag. 👀

Savoring the flavor…

Don’t feign shock when an unethical leader surrounds himself with people who mirror his character flaws.

When a candidate is problematic before he gets power, you don’t have to wonder how bad things can get.

The answer is very.

Out in these workplace streets doing what I can do, since there’s a lot we can’t do. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Meritocracy is a myth. Power has always moved most effortlessly between “friends.”

Interested in meeting new folks here, but not sure how to get the party started, so here’s my attempt:

I like democracy, kind people, nice hotels, Indian food, dogs, good books, observational humor, The Wiz, and gluten free chocolate chip cookies.

I do not like asshats, green peas, or apathy.
