Almost two years ago I opened my inbox to see an email from my now-employer inviting me to an impromptu interview for a new start-up that he was working on. After months and months of job searching, I thought,"Ohmigod, this is the opportunity of a lifetime!" At that...
For the first time ever, it is safe for me to say that I love my job. No, I'm not getting paid extra to say that. I know what you're thinking - "Nobody loves all of their job." Yes, that may be true. But I love all the scary, hairy, nonsensical parts of my job that...
I'm not sure if this is a problem other people have, or if I'm just lucky because I write a handful of blogs that aren't actually my own each week, but every time I sit down to write my next blog post here, nothing comes. I sit, wondering what on earth I should write...
Genetics are a weird thing. Taking something like the shape and color of your eyes and copying it exactly into a shorter, tinier body than yours. Mimicking the propensity to laugh when Thumper says, "That's not a flower," or the same fear in the eyes of a toddler...

Saying yes to a crazy decision followed by an overwhelming sense of calm. Have you ever done that? The sheer moment at the end of the decision-making process brought you peace, despite whether or not the decision itself was a good one? Last Friday I saw a quote from...
Has it been a hot second since I've written, or what?Since I started as a WebOp at Trustworkz, my life has turned upside-down. Only in the most positive of ways, but my personal blog has been put on the backburner for way too long.What does Trustworkz do? Well, you...
