  • a better way. week thirty

    I love Quiet Time. I am returning to the school environment after being away for the last few months. Prior to taking an official break, I took advantage of a few training opportunities while I was still in school mode. My last experience involved an activity where a group of (maybe) sixteen adults (school employees, […]

  • something more. week thirty

    Four years ago, I began making YouTube videos to complement the weekly blog post. It wasn’t just YouTube videos. (the YT videos only sustained for eleven weeks) I had quite a system. If I remember correctly, I posted a blog on Saturday. I posted a video on Sunday nights to Instagram. I made the longer […]

  • a better way. week twenty nine

    Do you wake up feeling inspired? Do you feel your day is filled with a sense of meaning and purpose? Do you go to bed feeling fulfilled? Do you want to? In Simon Sinek’s The Infinite Game, he describes his ‘just cause’ (his why for his what) to be that he wants to contribute to […]

  • something more. week twenty nine

    Four years ago was memorable. For me, the summer of 2020 is a timestamp. What I remember was the intense feeling of anger, disbelief, and separation when it came to news and information. I reference a book in today’s excerpt that really helped me expand my thinking and understanding of how ‘stories’ can override day, […]

  • a better way. week twenty eight

    If you read the previous post something more. week twenty eight, I included the first section of a marketing interview I am in the process of completing. It has been a ‘trip down memory lane’ as I am considering the questions asked and the most thoughtful, relevant, and (helpful?) responses. Today I will share part […]

  • something more. week twenty eight

  • something more. week twenty seven

    It’s unfortunate that I did not post this excerpt on July 4, 2024. Apparently, day.llc is mostly taking a summer hiatus. Up until June, the fabulous twice weekly Book Clubs posts were on track. We will return to consistency…but first, play 💃 You can purchase Something More. Connecting to the pulse of a Shared Humanity […]

  • a better way. week twenty six

    Happy slightly past the middle of July. It’s catch-up Book Club season, and today’s excerpt from abetterway was originally published June 26, 2021. Next summer (2025), I anticipate taking a blogging hiatus in June and July. I seem to have taken a hiatus this summer, just not intentionally. It doesn’t feel good to be ‘behind’ […]

  • something more. week twenty six

    I am a bit behind on my Book Club posts. As I attempt to get back in sync with Sunday (abetterway) and Thursday (something more) excerpt shares, I need to play some catch-up. Today is a excerpt from Something More. Connecting to the pulse of a Shared Humanity – power. June 27, 2020. First, a […]

  • a better way. week twenty five

    In the fall of 2005, I began a two year graduate program in Social Work at the University of Denver. I knew from the first day it was time to learn, time to absorb new information.  I have a similar feeling currently. Summer 2024. 52 years old. Time to learn. Time to absorb new information.  […]
