Learning Loyalty
As another year comes to a close, I always feel motivated to share what I’m learning with anyone that reads my writings (if anyone reads them at all, that is… LOL). If you read my “end of the year” blog last year, you’d know that I committed to dropping a lot of expectation for 2018.

Consequently, 2018 would be my year where I would expect nothing specific and instead, anticipate great things with an open mind. I wanted to let this year teach me what I needed to learn instead of telling it what to do like a bossy two-year-old.

Why Not Me?
“UGH… That stupid bitch,” I thought as I watched a Fisher Price ad play during the commercial break. “That was supposed to be me!” You see, I had been put on hold for this exact national campaign a few months back and seeing the ROBBER OF MY JOB really interrupted my peaceful time reserved for Netflix. After all, seeing a girl that could basically be your twin say a single line and play with an infant on TV makes you want to shout to the heavens “I CAN SO DO THAT! WHY WASN’T THAT ME?!”
