Celebrated Valentine’s Day by getting my first mammogram. Show your family you ❤️ them by following preventive health recommendations. Get screened!

New business cards came in! Now that I’m back in Northern Virginia after a few years away, I’m looking for recommendations on where to network #communication #networking #selfemployed

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

@penneysage Lol, the toot and booms! This is Flynn’s favorite movie so I’m very familiar

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

I've spent the past ten weeks on maternity leave, but now I'm back! Accepting new clients and looking forward to helping organizations reach their communication goals in the New Year

@pwthornton I liked Gaudí Park a lot, but it’s kind of out of the way of the other tourist attractions

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

@BigLots I understand being out of stock; I don’t understand why it allowed me to order it if that was the case. Or what store inventory has to do with an online order that’s being shipped? Presumably it ships from wherever it happens to be located

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

Why did @BigLots wait 3 days after I made my online order, which listed a max quantity available to purchase and was scheduled to arrive tomorrow, to tell me the order was cancelled due to “insufficient store inventory”? You don’t have a warehouse somewhere? SMH 🤦‍♀️

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

Officially on the market! Great house if you’re looking to buy in Lynchburg https://t.co/FmLmoy3Qtv #homeforsale

@iangolds @SlingshotDC @EHolubowich @ChrissieJuliano Lol, true story. Mine also doesn’t really do tantrums, just repeats himself OVER and OVER until he gets a response. Hoping that perseverance comes in handy when he’s older

6 years ago today, I left my office job for the last time and started my self- employment adventure. It’s been a wild ride and I haven’t regretted it for a moment #selfemployed #livingthegoodlife #GreatResignation

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

@pwthornton This is an odd take. I’d be much more concerned about the success rates of someone who is blindly confident and ignored any and all warning flags

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

Kids under 5 still don’t have the option to be vaccinated and yet the response to that is a resounding 🤷‍♀️ rather than people dealing with the mild inconvenience of masking to help protect them

CDC says Americans can now go unmasked in many parts of the country https://t.co/zBY6JEq8by

Looking forward to seeing what youth programming they will be offering here! https://t.co/GhNZ376Tov #STEM #scienceforthekids

Exactly how I feel as a solo parent: “Any negative consequence — whether to physical or mental health — will ultimately be my fault, because it was my choice alone…That’s a heavy burden to bear for nearly two years.”

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Experts started telling us in mid-2020 that prolonged anxiety was taking its toll on our minds and bodies, and that was like three variants ago. https://t.co/qhBCZSmQM5

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

What happened to Happy Meal toys? You used to be able to keep these for years. @McDonalds really gave me a piece of cardboard and told me to scan it with my phone for my 3 year old. Notice the tape, because this was broken within about 10 seconds by my very confused child

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

Look what made me feel old when I found it today: A community paper did a story on me distributing the first @cityofPortsVA enewsletter. It was a Word doc attachment, lol

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

New client alert 🚨

Excited to be collaborating with @nadiainitiative for the next few months as they spread the word about the good work they’re doing for marginalized communities!

This is ridiculous. The whole health insurance industry is a scam and we need a national health care system #MedicareForAll

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

#MedicareForAll now! I pay thousands of dollars in insurance premiums every year, yet still have to pay out of pocket for everything. This month alone, I am re-appealing a decision not to cover an ultrasound to confirm my miscarriage was complete AND

[Sarah Wood @SarahWoodComms]

Am paying out of pocket for lab work fees that do not count toward my deductible because the only in-network lab is more than an hours drive away
