The New Me

(copied from post dated 9/28/2025)

As those closest to me know, I have been wanting to create a blog since 2020. I posted a handful of articles but I was too afraid to really tell anyone about it. Looking back at who I was then, I don’t recognize her.

For one thing, I’ve started wearing blazers to work. I got a couple really nice blazers hoping I would get to use them for interviews. And when the interviews never happened, I thought, why let these amazing blazers go to waste. So, scrunched up the sleeves (sleeves are always too long for me anyway), I paired them with some jeans and cute shoes and just started wearing them to work. Regularly. And my inner child couldn’t get enough. She thinks she gets to play dress up at work and carry a briefcase.  I started using every discount at my disposal and got a blazer in every style I could find… in my price range..well and size.

But for me, it wasn’t dress up. Looking back, it was taking to heart the old adage, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” I was coming out of my shell and saying,  I’ve watched long enough. I’ve read so many books, been to so many workshops and rituals and servises. I’m ready to speak.

I’ve been wearing a blazer to work most days now since the first of the year. And during those handful of months I’ve taken numerable classs. Any free training my company offered.

So, that old blog isn’t who I am now. I want this to be something new and fresh to reflect the new me.   I’ll be talking about all the things that happen in my everyday life that inspire me.  Something I read, Places I went, and things that I found amusing  People I have met.

So, welcome to my new blog.
