I am direct. I’ve learned to be clear. I ask for what I want. Last year I was at a swim meet (this is a frequent event in my life). A parent mentioned to me that her husband offered his office for the swimmers to use as a hang out during the break between trials […]
I am a runner. Not the kind that puts on running shoes and goes outside for a run. I am a runner in life. My go to when I am in pain is to run. Run away. Run and hide. Run … run … run. This was my solution to any problem. In my younger […]
You know that moment when you feel defeat as you compare yourself to others and come to the conclusion you don’t measure up.
