Blog shmlog. That's usually how this works for me. I have this great intention to share all of my ideas with the universe...and then I don't feel like sharing all of my ideas with the universe. So this, this is blogging with accountability - not quite as much as a cell phone contract, that's two years, or marriage, but a whole year of sharing my thoughts unfiltered, just for you, every other day. 

Here's my hope: I'm a fierce, loyal, intelligent woman who takes a lot of shit from people and who also needs to um, perfect the craft of responding to stupidity. Now, I believe we each learn at our own pace, have strengths and weaknesses. That's not the kind of stupid I'm talking about. I'm referring to blatant asshole stupid. Thought it through and still decided to be a jerk stupid. Don't know what I don't know and still think I'm an expert stupid. No self confidence so I'll cut everyone else down and treat them like shit stupid. That, I'm sick of. Fielding and owning others' stupid ends in 2019. That's my resolution. I want to be free from carrying the load for others. Whew. That may be worse than going to the gym three times a week. 

My little human had a hell of an end to 2018, so I'm hoping 2019 brings her freed energy and renewed joy. 

My people at work, they need the love. Ever worked somewhere in which one person has been allowed to be an asshole for years and now, now, that person is leading the way for a group of people you are trying to support? Yeah. That's a bad thing. This one is somewhat related to responding to stupidity. How to harness the leader - not at all like follow the leader, equally not controlling the leader. Wish me luck. It's going to be a long 6 months on that way. 

Last, there are so many things that bring joy in to my life. I want to share those with you as well...the sparkles and giggles, breakthroughs and simple things. The beauty in all of this is that you'll hear from my best friend as well. The we are so very different, we are also so very much alike in this adulting adventure. 

Thanks for joining us on the journey!
