Oh, hi there

I have been MIA from this blog for 9 months. I have not stopped writing but rather have just been busy and yeah. Life man.

Resilience and the Crucible of Leadership

Embracing chaos can be good and bad. Good in the fact that it makes you metaphorically bullet-proof to all the noise that doesn’t matter. Bad to the degree that once you cross over into your peaceful era, it’s hard to accept that even though resilience helped you through many situations- it’s time to just ‘be.’ It is time to just ‘vibe.’

Part Two: I Slept on a Train

Currently, I am sitting on an Air France flight back to the states. I have three and a half hours left until we touch down in Atlanta. Then make our way to Denver soon after. My lovely, lovely bed that I haven’t slept in for almost two weeks. Here I come. My back missed you.

Part One: Sights and Senses

I’m sitting in our room on the third floor of a French hotel. Technically it’s their second floor- but since I’m a silly American- we don’t call the ground floor “0” or the “Receiving” floor.

I tend to avoid writing about things that are explosive by nature.

For the past however many days since Roe Vs. Wade first made headlines, it has made me reflect a lot not only about that, but other things that tie into that.

Hear me out with questions I have asked myself and am still researching. I believe that the most ignorant thing a person can do is be stuck in their ways and forget logic and reason. Also, forget to understand all sides to a topic.

Raised in a Place

As I was speaking to a colleague over Zoom today, I heard it. I heard the place that I come from. It’s the subtle things in my actions, and how I speak that make me remember that I was raised in a place that laid an honest foundation to who I would become- and who I am still discovering.

What CandorVibes Taught Me

Last year, I launched a website (CandorVibes) to serve as my blog platform. A place where I could write whatever I wanted to, and feel good to have gotten it off of my chest.
