Be Better Than Good Enough
This is my final post of 2017. Going into the year, posting weekly was a huge step outside my comfort zone for so many reasons. But, here I am on the last Tuesday of 2017 and have somehow kept the streak alive. A few months ago, I posted on how […]
We stood in line at the deli counter. I had my credit card in hand and I was ready to pay for myself and one of my mentors. I was ready for the argument about who was going to pay as well. The last two times we went to dinner, […]

I was in Barnes and Noble the other night when I caught myself. I was on my way to the checkout when I looked down at the three books I was holding and decided that I needed to put them back. I haven’t read in almost three weeks. My […]
