Call Me Home
I stand alone. However, I am busy with my thoughts. The thoughts and ideas of what I must do for the rest of the day buzz around in my head. So, I don't feel alone. I pull out my phone to look at the time, but I am so deep in my thoughts that I forget my initial purpose for pulling my phone out. So, I put it away again. I stand here with all the tasks of the day screaming in my head. "Read the rest of the chapter," they say, "don't forget to take that test", they demand. I forget. I forget it all. I forget every idea, every single task, and every responsibility that I have. In this moment, as the wind billows up far behind me and pushes against my back, moving my hair and ruffling my shirt, I am sent back in time. I turn towards the wind, I feel it in my bones to turn, and as I turn, I breathe in. The carefree air enters my nose, and it feels like the air is connected to my memories. I am instantly transported back to a simpler time.

19 Years and Counting
19 is a weird year. I kind of knew what I wanted at 18, but then you know, real life had to kick in and change all the rules. Like, having to pay to go in for a check up to needing to pay taxes, which I will say I never learned with my 3.75 GPA.

Choosing to Work from Home
I'm still wondering how I've determined that the smartest move for my life is to become a stay at home mom who works at home. Even as I sit here with my duct tape-covered laptop while Tumble Leaf plays on the television to distract my kids, I don't understand how I thought this was the best choice for supporting my family.

Which Banana Would You Choose?
There is of course never a single answer that perfectly encapsulates the choice we would each make when hiring people. I have hired some great candidates in my career and made some dud choices too. With each hire, you learn something a little different.
