…and I’ll turn right back around. So goes the Tracy Chapman song. She’s been jilted, maybe cheated on, walked on, treated badly by her lover. We don’t know exactly what happened, but we do know that she’s tired of going through the same motions of feeling loved, then pushed aside. She wants a reason to [...]

Remind yourself what you deserve
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged family, friends, relationships, reminders, respect, self on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
When we are feeling rejected by someone or something, it’s easy to get down on ourselves and come up with all the reasons why it happened to us. It’s easy to try to rationalize someone else’s actions or decisions or find ways to defend them, even if they hurt us. It’s also common for us [...]
The littlest things make it hard to move on…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged birthdays, friends, life, loss, love, moving on on November 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
When looking back at a lifetime of memories, relationships, milestones, and decisions, it’s easy to lump them into categories and think you’re done with it. That was the “first job” stuff. That was the “move to the big city” year. That was the “neglectful father” stage. That was the “4-year relationship breakup” moment. That was [...]
Do your friends empower you?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged connector, empowerment, friends, support on September 19, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Tonight I celebrated the 31st birthday of a friend I met in DC just over a year ago, about a month before her 30th birthday, which I also was privy to. A small gathering in the backyard of her boyfriend’s mother’s house, we each went around the table toasting to her, sharing our little nuggets [...]
Weddings, Weeding, & Wonderings
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged friends, life, love, marriage, weddings, weeding on June 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This is the year. The year when all my friends are getting engaged, married, having kids, moving to new cities, starting new jobs, starting new lives. This is the year when a lot of things change. Two weekends ago, I was in the wedding of one of my best friends. I hadn’t yet met her [...]
Engaging with your supporters
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged community, dialogue, family, friends, nonprofit, relationships, supporters on June 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In my job, we’re always thinking about how to serve our constituents, our supporters, our donors, our followers, and fans, partners, and champions. That means we frequently “engage with our supporters” which means wonky non-profit type stuff like “creating a dialogue,” “providing a platform for community-building,” “raising awareness,” and “reporting back.” We tell our people [...]
The only way to learn
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged burn, decisions, friends, learning, mistakes on May 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
At one point or another in our lives, we’ve been told that it’s okay to make mistakes, okay to fail, to screw up. The catch is that we are meant to learn from the mistakes, pick ourselves up after failures, and find a new path — now that we know what to do differently. And [...]
The nature of a transitory town
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged DC, friends, girlfriends, moving on January 27, 2010 | 2 Comments »
When I first came to DC three years ago, I wasn’t looking for new best friends (I have a couple of great ones), but I was hoping I would find some people to hang out with from time to time in this new place since I was away from home, from my boyfriend, from all [...]
Yeah… you’re right!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged bad days, family, friends, life on September 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Sometimes there are those days where nothing seems to be going right. We get some bad news, we get in a fight with someone we love, get reprimanded by the boss, or we’re late to an appointment because of traffic. Last week I had almost an entire week of that. I had the weird medical [...]
