    My contacts know they will either get a lightning fast reply or I’ll think I replied (in detail, I’ll convince myself) and forget they exist. Somehow I do better with email. Still hate a phone call. Must be the AOL kid in me.





  • In my industry it’s “meet people where they are.” All well and good if you know yourself, have the emotional intelligence, resilience, resources to do so. But even in the helper fields you can see people who lack in those things and do a disservice to the people they are supposed to be helping OR can only help so far because they too have some growing to do.



  • Today when I emptied my pockets I had 3 zip lock sandwich bags, a roll of soft Velcro, a roll of scratchy Velcro, multiple hair bands, compression gloves, and miscellaneous paper trash I forgot to toss. They weren’t event half full. My kids have started copying me and walking around with their hands in their pockets which I do just because of the joy of having them. I wish all my pants were like my scrubs. Sigh.
