It’s rare that we know when our last moment with someone will be before they pass away. On Christmas Eve I learned that my all-time favorite teacher Lucia Harvilchuck was at a local Hospice.

Define Yourself.
Since childhood I have different people’s thoughts and definitions of who I am swirling around in my head. People form opinions of who we are based on seeing us in one setting, from one angle and their biases. We all judge and assess. Our loved ones give us feedback based on who we are and howContinue reading “Define Yourself.”
Alone in a New City
It’s not per say being alone in a new city that makes you feel alone. It’s the feeling you left a life behind that was yours. I spend a lot of time outside of work catching up with friends on their latest happenings, updating friends and answering the question, how is Atlanta? For the firstContinue reading “Alone in a New City”

I wanted teachers to affirm that my hard work was noticed, not for validation asContinue reading “Who We Are. How We Feel. How We React.”

Four years in Tallahassee and three years at the Zimmerman Agency came to a close last week. Another chapter for friendships and new adventures await!

I feel grateful and blessedContinue reading “Laugh, Cry & Look Ahead”

No Yellow Brick Road
As I look at my fellow public relations graduates and friends, I have to ask, Does everyone seem to know what they’re doing next with their career but me? But then, I’m reminded, no. We weren’t promised a yellow brick road when we graduated, but no one warned us the streets were so tough againstContinue reading “No Yellow Brick Road”
