My On Again-Off Again Relationship

Lolabees — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:58:36 +0000

I consider myself to be pretty lucky. While in the past I haven’t ever been that person who wins prizes and drawings, or even a hand of blackjack in Vegas; in general, I lead a very lucky life. Take my dating history, for example. Whenever a relationship ended, it simply ended. There were times after a break-up that I’d daydream about the guy trying to win me back. It never happened. I often felt defeated, thinking maybe I just wasn’t worth fighting for. Then I’d observe other women (or men) going back again and again to some jerk that treated […]

When Dreams Turn to Nightmares

My new dream job mostly turned out to be a big nightmare. The possibilities of a new future were there, of course, along with all of the standard challenges you would expect from starting any new job. Change is hard. It’s scary. It’s uncomfortable.

There certainly were times in my life when I’ve just talked and taken no action to back the bull$#!+ that I was spouting. Heck, I could be doing it right now and don’t even know it! And I’m sure there were other times when my actions were right in line with my values and […]

A Little Hankey Pankey to Reignite the Flame

Lolabees — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:56:01 +0000

Once I found my dream job, I eagerly threw myself into my work. I had so much new stuff to learn, and so much to unlearn. I had a mentor right there on the spot, and he spent hours teaching me what he knew. He filled my head with new ideas and thoughts of a bright future and all of the great things we could do for people. He urged that I follow in his footsteps and go to The Pankey Institute. Attending would give me a much better understanding of all he was teaching me. So I went, and […]
