My ex’s house is so filthy I can hardly stand it. I can’t believe this is being normalized for my kids.
I’m afraid to sit down, wash my hands, use the bathroom. Like actual dirt, grime and trash everywhere 🙈

Instagram and threads have locked me out and I had no idea why. When I go to open the app, it shows me my feed, and then immediately says “this page cannot load.“
Guess that’s my sign not to eff around with social media today

OMG.
Being a guest at a wedding when you were a luxury wedding planner for 18 years is … interesting.
We’re in the middle of nowhere. And there’s not a shuttle (but the wedding website said there was one). And it’s NYE.
Should be an interesting night.

I’ll be honest by the time I’ve gotten up, cleaned the house and made three pies I’m ready to go back to bed with a good book for the rest of the day - not have a house full of guests. 🙈

Two tales of the same day.
Let’s start at the end:
I’m laying in bed next to my sleeping 10 yo and thinking about our day. I feel tears in my eyes. It was a very good day. The kind of day you want to bottle up and keep close to your heart. I am grateful.

The type of day that would be featured in my book if I ever made “the last great day” into a novel.

It’s wild that I can say I’ve lived in Chicago for 26 years.
That’s longer than I’ve ever lived anywhere. And STILL when people ask me where “I’m from” I’d say my home town in Indiana. But I was only there for 18 years.
I get to claim Chicago now, right?!

Here’s a tip for you during the holidays (and always). Focus on what you WANT to feel/be and not on what you DO NOT want to feel/be.
The laws of physics prove that what you resist, persists, and what you accept transforms.
E.G. turn “I don’t want to feel chaotic” into “I am peaceful.

Do you eat pop tarts?
If you eat them, do you toast them?
If you eat them and toast them do you butter them?
This is how I always ate them as a kid and now my kids tell me that’s really weird.

I find myself tuning out when ever I hear someone quote or reference Tony Robbins.
He has some great stuff and I also think a lot of it is toxic.
Just me?

I am so extremely capable of managing my own needs and the more stressed I am the more pissed it makes me when people try to manage me - even if their intent is kind.
Just give me space to do my thing and trust me to take care of myself.

What is your go to heart emoji color and do you know why you always pick it?
Mine is 🧡
Orange evokes change, movement, and transformation, and this premise is confirmed by its presence in nature–sunsets, vegetables, and fire.
I am transformation coach.

What is your single favorite holiday food?
I’ll go first:
My Granny’s homemade chicken and noodles. Once she passed my mom started making them and now my partner has learned to make them as well.
Second favorite are my own whipped potatoes with an obscene amount of butter.

I love my partner but why does she insist on listening to things (TV or music) at a volume so loud that I can hear it three floors and three closed doors away?!
And yes. She knows. And I’ve asked for things to be turned down.

Rep. Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres15 years ago, I dropped out of college because of severe depression. I thought of taking my own life because I felt the world around me had collapsed. I even admitted myself into a hospital.
I would not be alive, let alone in Congress, were it not for mental health care.

Stop it. Everyone stop it!
Antisemitism is never ever OK.
You can stand up for all Jewish people and not support Israels government.
Any hateful rhetoric must stop. Now.

Andrew Weinstein @WeinsteinlawIn the past 24 hours, there have close to 200 swatting incidents and bomb threats targeting Jewish facilities across the country. The rise in antisemitism is staggering. Stand up. Speak out. Silence is complicity.11:23 PM - Dec 17, 2023

As a podcaster (for 6 years now) I’m always shocked when other casters want their guests to do all the work for them.
Guests shouldn’t come up with the episode title. Guests should not have to come up with the questions. Guests should not have to do all the legwork… That’s your damn job.

I find it really difficult not to take shit personally.
But I also know that most of the time other peoples behavior is not about me.
I literally walk around my house chanting “other peoples behavior is not about me, other peoples behavior is not about me.”

Text exchange with my 8th grader.
Them: just failed a test but to be fair it was nothing like the study guide and she didn’t teach us half of what is on it
Me: Did you do your best?
Them: yeah
Me: Then that’s the best you can do.
Thank you for letting me know. 🧡
