Just don't do it in someone's ear. Don't be that weirdo. It's been a long month. Things have happened that have made life difficult for me - emotionally, physically, and mentally. I took a break from writing, and quite frankly, a lot of other things as well (like kale and yoga). One thing that has … Continue reading Breathe, Loudly
It's bizarre how much of our identity is tied to our profession. Maybe it isn't so strange - we spend so much of our time at work, getting ready for work and unwinding from work.

A few months ago, we took a trip to Texas, which included a few days in Austin. While there, we were … Continue reading On Blank Canvas
Last weekend, I went to session two of the work on purpose fellowship and I discovered both my strengths and my values. To catch ya'll up: my top five strengths were harmony, communication, empathy, input and consistency. My top three values... are non-compliance (hahaha), physical health, and humor. This weekend, I, Jeanette, learned that I … Continue reading My Values Aren’t For the Greater Good
