Monday Mantra: Make Time for Yourself
They say time flies when you are having fun. There must be some truth to that, since the last couple of weekends felt like they flew by. Yet, here we are again—at the start of a new week. As someone…
Wednesday Words: Know Your Worth
In light of yesterday being equal pay day, I wanted to put in my two cents on the subject (pun intended). There have been many times in my professional career when I was less concerned with what I was making—like…
Monday Mantra: Grow Through What You Go Through
Well, hello there! While my sporadic posting schedule may lead you to believe otherwise, I’m still alive over here—just buried under a sea of boxes. Now that I have secured a new place to live (hooray for small victories), I…

Monday Mantra: Embrace Change
I haven’t written a Monday Mantra post in a while…and after the last few months, which have felt like a whirlwind of commotion, I figured I had the perfect topic for today’s post: change. Change is a scary word for…
Thoughts on a Summer Thursday
