Just discovered, and now obsessed with, @theelysemyers. She’s genuine, down-to-earth, hilarious, encouraging, talented, and inspirational. I want to be best friends, like yesterday.
Also, she’s from Omaha, so we’re practically neighbors.
I was just thinking to myself how the 90s were 10 years ago, and then I realized it was actually 30 years ago and I think I’m gonna go jump off a cliff now. 😭
Being helpful isn't about pleasing people. It's about making a unique contribution.
If you never say no, people don't respect your time. If you're thoughtful about when you give, they're more selective in their asks.
The goal isn't to be needed. It's to add value and be valued.
Today a complete stranger took the time to stop their car, roll down the window & compliment me. It caught me totally off guard & made my entire day.
Imagine what the world would be like if we all did that. Be brave… compliment others. You never know the impact it could have!
You know you’re officially old when you order an orthopedic pillow, tweet about crockpot liners, and discuss propagating/acquiring new houseplants with a friend all in the same week. #onefootinthegrave
It REALLY bothers me when people comment on/talk about other people’s bodies/weight. It adds fuel to the already toxic culture surrounding body image.
Someone’s weight/health is not anyone’s business but their own, and you never know what battles people fight in silence.
When someone offers feedback you don't like, the ideal response isn't to ignore it. It's to seek more perspectives.
One person's reaction is an opinion. If multiple people make the same point, it's a pattern.
The best way to grow is to find the recurring signal in the noise.
You're not obligated to maintain a relationship with anyone who treats you poorly.
No mentor, friend, or relative deserves unconditional loyalty. Past help is not an excuse for present harm.
If they're having a negative impact on you, you don’t have to keep them in your life.
@Abby_Moschell Not a ton I wouldn’t think. It’s pretty specialized 😅 but if you’re wanting to come live in Sioux Falls, we may have a position opening!
Okay, serious question: are pandas even dangerous?
I get the vibe that they’re klutzy, snuggle butts that are essentially large children, incapable of doing harm to anyone but themselves.
