What the Dump Truck Taught Me (A lesson in perspective)
“I hate dump trucks,” I declared as I maneuvered out of range of one that had been driving alarmingly close to my car. “I knoooooww mom,” my son replied next to me, emphasizing the response with an eye roll. Clearly, he’d heard the dump truck story before. And obviously, I was going to tell it to him again anyway. 😊In
Being versus Doing
Many years ago, when I was a mid-level HR leader, I felt that I had a lot to prove to get to the next level in my career. And so naturally, I did a lot of proving. I was well organized and prepared – for every meeting, every presentation, every interaction. I had lists and agendas and talking points. Everything
Mamma Says
My mom has always said, “If you’re feeling down, you should go do something nice for someone else.” As a kid, I didn’t love this advice. I was wallowing, darn it, and someone else should make me feel better! “Doesn’t work like that, sweetheart,” was her typical empathetic response.As an adult, I’ve given her advice much more credence.

I'll be happy when…
Every January, I hit the goal planning HARD. I love setting new goals and intentions for myself. It’s the time of year that I dream up all kinds of new skills to learn, targets to hit and adventures to experience.

Swallow the Fly
Ok, it wasn’t an actual fly. It was probably a small gnat that flew directly into my mouth and down my throat while I was out for a morning run. The air was warm on my skin, the light held a rosy hue and I could smell the ripening blackberries as I ran by. Idealistic, except for the gnat I
Shut it, Helga!
Deep inside me lurks a harsh inner critic, a saboteur. She seeks to control everything around her in order to ensure the right outcomes. She tells me that if she doesn’t control everything, it will all go to hell. I’ll lose my autonomy and others will seek to control me.I’ve nicknamed her Helga, and picture her as a very strong,
Who run the world? Girls
Me at five: gangly and tall (even then) at least one skinned knee (at all times) curious and anxious (all at once). Ready to challenge the world around me. 
I like to think of the five-year-old version of me as the essence of who I am. Before I fully learned all the lessons that gender socializing would have to teach
