You made it through the work week – and to quote ‘NSYNC quoting Johnny Kemp, “Just got paid, it’s Friday night.” Since we’re spending almost all of our time at home, there’s really nowhere to go waste away your paycheck…So, where are you spending your weekend? Personally, I’ve found myself spending more time than exploring…

Brain Injury Awareness Month
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. Until recently, I hadn’t realized how many types of brain injuries exist. It’s more than just car accidents and concussions. My uncle had what should have been a relatively simple brain surgery (as simple and routine as brain surgery can be, I suppose) a month ago today. After an…
Walking into 2020 at the Happiest Place on Earth
As y’all know, I’d been faithfully following the keto diet for more than a year before I decided it was time to move back to Texas. When I made that decision, I realized there were so many things in NYC that I hadn’t tried and obviously needed to eat them all before I left. So,…

Let’s talk about fear, baby…
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received has also stuck with me for years (it's that good!) — Don’t make decisions based on fear. How often are we guilty of this? I’ve watched it happen in both personal and professional situations time and time again. And just like the person who shared…
Keep it friendly, Houston!
I recently came upon this article ranking the states from least to most friendly. Turns out, I unknowingly moved from one of the friendliest states in the country to two of the least friendliest. Smack dab at the bottom of the list (as in, the least friendliest state of all) is New York. And at…
Work It! Job Hunting: The Musical
Over the last couple of months, I’ve obviously been scanning job postings. I look at postings for all sorts of opportunities – both to see what I might want to do and to see what I might need to learn if I want to pursue various jobs. I find that LinkedIn makes this super easy,…
Let it go, Let it go!
I realized long ago that I wasn’t as big a person as Elsa in Frozen. Even as an animated character, she could do something I’d never been able to figure out – Let it go. I understood the concept, and I knew that letting go of things was the only way to move past them…
Introducing…Work It! The Career Chronicles
I know I’ve been sort of MIA lately. To be honest, I’ve been all over the map (literally and figuratively). Since I’ve been back in Houston, I’ve started the introspective process of what to do next career-wise. And let me tell you, reflecting on what the next chapter of your professional life should hold is…

It’s not you, NYC — It’s me
I think I've made it pretty clear that NYC is my spirit animal, if my spirit animal could be a city. So everyone, including myself, was sort of surprised when I said I was going to move back to Houston after just a year in the big apple. Why leave a place I love so…
Countdown to Tony Night
We’re exactly one week out from the Tony Awards! Let’s talk about some of the nominations. I can’t speak to every nominated show or actor – While I have made it through all of the musicals, I still have a handful of plays left on my list that will have to wait until after the…
