Fun Photo Post (w25)

Hi all! I’m checking in a day late this week, but I’m still here!

During our daily walk last night after Jeopardy!, I realized I hadn’t posted, and I made the decision to let it go and post today instead.

I came to that conclusion after working all day on the new WYCWYC Substack and… ready for it… workbook!!

Carla and I have teamed up to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of WYCWYC, and we’ve been working feverishly on a companion workbook AND planning the return of the podcast. I am more than excited. It’s giving me 2015 vibes, and I’m all about it right now.

Anyway, enough about that. I’ll definitely share news as we make progress. We both work and have families… so, you know, we’re WYCWYC’ing it. 🙂

On to the photos! I’ve decided to let the photos drive this post because I have at least one for each day of the week since last week’s post.

The Post That Almost Wasn’t (w24)

I have been a black hole of nothingness today. Just struggling through some emotions I can’t quite express.

I’ve tried explaining my current state of mind to The Husband, but he doesn’t understand. And how could he? I’m the one experiencing the emotions, and I barely get it.

In an attempt to distract myself, I watched one of my training videos from a weightlifting coach I’m working with online. He has this great exercise called “Evil Inner Workout Partner,” where you are supposed to give your inner voice a name and write out what they say to you conversationally that’s holding you back from your goals.

wycwyc’in Away! (w23)

I had big plans for this post, but now it’s after 7 pm and I’m on the couch with the kids, eating dinner, and watching Jeopardy.

Years ago, this would have never happened because I was THAT Mom. You know, the one who made everyone sit for family dinner at the table. It was a daily occurrence. No TV. No phones. Just the four of us around the table, talking about our day or playing some sort of table game.

Now, the mom of a 14-year-old and soon-to-be 20-year-old (that happens this weekend, OMG), dinner at the table happens maybe once or twice a week.

At first, this bothered me, but over time, I have realized we are wycwyc‘ing it!

Professional Goals Achieved! (w22)

I don’t blog much about my professional life, but I have a few fun things to share.

First, I just got home from a reception for the PLA (President’s Leadership Academy), which I graduated from yesterday.
