I love to laugh. I laugh every day. Sometimes because something is genuinely funny. Sometimes because life is absurd. Sometimes because the alternative is crying, and frankly, I already have enough hobbies. I joke. I find the ridiculous in the ordinary. I look for the silver lining even […]
2025 didn’t tiptoe in. It arrived with a clipboard, a calendar full of meetings, and a very clear message of “You’re in it now. Fully. All the way in.” This was the year I stepped into my new role and actually turned things around. Not quietly. Not tentatively. […]
