BBM me. But don't really. It's a company phone.
Hold your breath. I’ll tell you when you can breathe again. I got a company Blackberry today. It’s the ball and chain that will rob hours of my day and place me at the beck and call of every team member demanding immediate answers. The chime it emits will undoubtedly haunt my dreams and lead…

Great Friends and Founders.
I love Founders. I always run into so many people there! It’s a great gathering place. An excellent watering hole. Feeling blessed to have such amazing people in my life. Months pass until you’re face to face, and then it’s as if no time has passed at all. That’s when you know you’re lucky. Positive…

The Tale of The Hair-Straightening Kiosk Man and The Gullable Girl
I bought a $90 straightener today. I didn’t want to. What I wanted to do was rush through the mall to the food court where the restrooms are located, leap wildly through the door hosting a cut-out of the female shape, and fight tooth-and-nail through the long line of women so that I could stop doing the…

Banana Nut Cheerios and Little Thoughts
My sister hates the smell of Cheerios. She says I always smelled like chewed up Cheerios when I was a baby. Haha. I was driving home from work today around 12:30pm and became suddenly aware that there were a lot of couples driving around. I hoped to myself that they were all happy. I tried…

Feel the dirt under your fingernails. Feel the rain on your pillow.
My head is full of thoughts today and my heart is full of warmth. Admittedly though, I can’t help but feel a little sad that the days are getting perceptibly shorter. It’s unfair that I would notice it now, now that I have a job. To look on the bright side, it may be a good…

Three Thoughts of Morning.
Choosing My Attitude. I woke up today with a start. I hadn’t looked at my phone yet, but I already knew I was running late. 10:45am. Very late. Church starts in 15 minutes and I have pillow marks on my face! Heart pounding, I jumped out of bed. Man, is it hot in my room.…

Bold Brews. Bold Thoughts.
Last night, I got to share conversation with a dear friend of mine. He’s the friend that I met with months ago who inspired me to move to Grand Rapids first and look for things to fall into place second, the friend who believes that visualizing your goals leads to achieving them. We sat down…

Life List 2010: See a Bald Eagle in Nature (CHECK!)
If this was VH1’s “Best Week Ever,” they’d be featuring me. Today, I drove from my hometown to my current town then out to a friend’s cottage. We drifted around on inner tubes, went for a pontoon ride on a pontoon that hauls, swam in the water, ate some delicious food, shared great conversation, enjoyed…

Time to be Strong.
Timing is everything. Sometimes it’s time to be strong. Time to take what you want to hear and scrutinize it. Break it down. Find out whether or not it means what you want it to. Do you still want it to?

Condensed Soup.
My day (condensed): Internal clock. Good morning! 8am. Wake the house. Let’s go to breakfast. Sing with me and my classic rock CD. Bank run. Real Food Cafe. Cash only. World Cup. Call from friend. Reunion! MadCap coffee. Grand Rapids list. Introductions. Sunshine. New friends. Parking ticket. Cerise Cherry. Drive east. Dinnertime. Hugs for grandma…
