Can I get an AMEN! for some TGIF action today? Seriously, it’s beautiful in DC today (hope it’s beautiful wherever you are too) and the weekend is looking it’ll be a low key, relaxing one too! Not much sarcastic commentary or work travel whining to do this week so let’s get to the good stuff! … Continue reading »
Normally I write the weekend reads from my couch, sipping on coffee, on Friday mornings. I had a week guys. It was an amped up emotional stressful week on multiple fronts, so I’m giving myself a pass. I’m already feeling better though – lots of sleep, coffee and a healthy breakfast will do it! Plus … Continue reading »
I’ve pushed my brain to the max. A lot of travel, fun-but-keeping-me-up-late plans and not nearly enough sleep has me feeling a homebody/lazy urge something strong. Now that the weather has taken on a more summer-like temperature, I must, must, must be outside this weekend but only if I’m sprawled out laying down reading a … Continue reading »
Six years ago, I interviewed at AARP with Tammy and Cecelia. Aside from being just desperate for a new job, there are two things I remember about that interview. First, I think I actually admitted to barely knowing what a 401(k) was but promising I could learn…I’d figured out patent law for my (then) current … Continue reading »
This is gonna be a brief, and admittedly weak weekend reads lovahs! I got back from another mess of travel on Wednesday (what a mess it was too!) and y’all are headed off for BBQs and beaches and vacations so, let’s get real, you probably won’t be reading much this weekend. Me? I’ll be staycationing, … Continue reading »
So I’ve been taking notes for this post since I turned 30 last year. I figured, instead of doing a “30 things I learned by 30″ post I’d do something a little more…I don’t know. Then I turned 31 and I couldn’t really bring myself to post anything. Then it was Mother’s Day and I … Continue reading »
Know what I need? That. I need a beach. I need the rhythmic slosh of water rolling up on the beach. Like a baby with one of those sound machines, I’ll be out like a light. This week has been more jet setting, ending with some family time. Much needed family time. Along the way … Continue reading »
Behold. My obsession with Game of Thrones, now firmly displayed on my desk at work! I’ve raved about the books for so long (and so adamantly) that my friend Cecelia ended up reading them and loving them just as much. Our shared obsession with Jon Snow and all things Westeros meant receiving a dragon egg (official … Continue reading »
A couple weeks ago I was presenting to a group of AARP field staff about the AARP Social Communications team. After sharing our structure, roles and some tips for rocking at social communications, I was asked, “How did you guys establish yourselves as the experts? How did you become the go-to people for social media … Continue reading »
The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind of work and fun travel. In two weeks I hit four cities in two, or was it three?, time zones. I always crave some time on the road. I want to leave my routine and my every day. Then, once I’m packing or in line at the … Continue reading »
