@garrison_hayes Same. I get it. There’s been so much anxiety for me at the thought of losing those voicemails and his texts. I put off changing my phone for a year because of this. I get it.

@BeckyLMcCoy That every new milestone or accomplishment that should feel celebratory is instead now heavy and complicated. I have a hard time feeling good in those good moments because they should’ve been shared with my dad and can’t be now. All the good things are now twisted by grief.

How many cities have y’all been to on this list. I’ve been to 24.

I know everything is melting down here in Twitter-land so I’d like to offer an alternative- my small business is rolling out new packaging this week on instagram and the discourse over there is lovely. Feel free to join there and check out my small business- Namesake Coffee.

You are allowed to be changed by grief.

You are allowed to have lived your whole life one way

and for that to be forever different as you sit with your losses.

You have permission to be someone entirely new.

@Delta - My mom landed 3 days ago and doesn’t have her luggage and no updates on whereabouts. Also, no call back from customer service or chat responses. Any suggestions for next steps to get an update on her luggage?

Vacation is a little less sweet when you have no clothes 🤷🏼‍♀️

@CoachTiers @AlanSteinJr Yes! I love when worlds collide. I went to an emotional intelligence workshop with @AlanSteinJr. 🙌

[Jessica J.W. Beans @jweavez]

It was awesome having you! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Had so much fun today speaking at the Adventist Enrollment Conference in Orlando - Keynote/Q&A this morning, plus afternoon sessions on leadership, as well as ways to be a more effective counselor and recruiter. In an Uber headed to MCO 🛫 next stop Ft. Worth, TX for more #EMchat

Don't repeat what's on your website word for word. That's why you have a website. Talk like a human talking to a human. - @CoachTiers

Favorite comment at this conference so far…

Attendee prefaced question to speaker with, “good job keeping my attention for the entire 60 minutes. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD, though I haven’t been tested, so it’s impressive you kept my attention.”

😁 #highered @CoachTiers

Q: How can I be more effective in admissions conversations?

A: You humanize and empathize. -@CoachTiers

Seems like good advice for pretty much everything though.

@CoachTiers dropping truth at our Adventist Enrollment Association conference.

Relationship building > recruitment.

Stop talking about yourself (your institution) and start asking about your students hopes, fears, goals.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

Be quiet, work hard, and stay healthy. It’s not ambition or skill that is going to set you apart but sanity.

[Jessica J.W. Beans @jweavez]

@ElSeeBe12 Same. But my had a little rhinestone star in the corner too. 😁

[Dr. Dee Knight @DrDeeKnight]

In moments of anguish, the lie of trauma is that you’ll be stuck there forever.

This is also the lie of grief.

It is the lie of pain.

In reality, we will move in and out of loss and healing for the rest of our lives. There will be unspeakable joy and disorienting heartache.

At a work conference where there was a bottle of hand sanitizer at the end of the buffet.

I pumped out a handful and rubbed it on both hands… only to find that my hands became INCREDIBLY sticky.

Turns out, it was simple syrup for the iced tea. 🤦🏼‍♀️ #pandemicproblems

@HeatherTDay Ooooh, if you need any fiction recommendations I’d be happy to pass some along. It’s my favorite genre by far.

@HeatherTDay I rewatch all extended versions of LOTR each year (most of the time in the Winter) and check in with myself about where I was a year ago.

Definitely a reflective practice in my life.
