I’m not sure where to begin — my heart is so full of thanks for all of you. Thank you for your responses, for your feedback, for your love, your support, your friendship… for everything you’re able to give from so far away, behind the curtain that lies between us, but lets in so much light… thank you.

I’m having the best time reading through your responses, taking notes, making plans, finding a little more confidence in the direction I’m hoping to go, knowing you’re all by my side. I don’t mean to be so flowery, but hey, it’s a holiday Friday… I’m feeling pretty full of fluff.

Tell me. Are you going away for the big weekend? Maybe taking advantage of these last days of summer with a cookout? Whatever it is you’re up to, I hope it’s wonderful! Enjoy your holiday and I’ll see you back here on Tuesday.

P.S. If you haven’t had a chance to respond to yesterday’s survey, no problem at all! I’ll be keeping an eye on it over the next few weeks. We’re in this together. I want everyone who can to have a chance to weigh in.

Selfies at serious places.

I’ve only just recently learned that everyone isn’t this way (I’m still not quite sure I believe it…) but for me, a busy social life usually means that I’m going to get to a point where I need a few days at home alone to recharge (extroverts — no?).

So after a few busy weeks months, there came a… let’s just say a moment, that sounds way better than breakdown… a few weeks ago when I found myself at a place where I needed to say enough was enough. We had to find some time to refuel. To unwind and do nothing. So, because right now our lives are just that busy – and even the weekends where we really meant to relax… we did anything but – we decided to schedule it…

So here we go. Let the laziness begin. I’m not going to feel guilty… I’m not going to make a list… I’m going to actively soak up as much of this last of only two remaining pool weekends we have before that dastardly cold shows up again and ruins it all.

Sometimes you just have to force a good thing, and that’s okay… because it’s going to feel so good.

Hope you have a good weekend! I’ll try to also unplug as much as I can… but on that front, I’m not sure I have any promises. Maybe I’ll see you over on Instagram.

Eye some good advice.

22 past and present “Saturday Night Live” cast members talk about their audition. Classic line: “If you went and got ice, you would hear snippets of auditions. Everybody else’s stuff sounds better than yours.” I think we all feel that way every once in a while.

Just so amazing, these penguin sounds… I die.

What should you do with your life? Take your pick.

I will always love you, Dolly!

This “Get Your Sh*t Together” series is really, really good.
