This past week, someone reminded me of the Maya Angelou quote of “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” This thought has been simmering in workplaces and in the public consciousness for a while now. It is a warning that has teeth. Many […]
I love watching movies. Or rather I should say I used to love movies and then I liked them and now I love them again. I made a very deliberate effort last year to watch, on average, two movies in the theaters each month. Granted, there are […]
I came home to do a myriad of errands, chores, and smores. Actually, no smores. I wish. That would be fun and a random thing to do at 7pm on a work night. I barely have any food at the house, let alone ingredients to makes smores. I […]
