My man got lasik eye surgery yesterday but it was in the evening and his eyes were in pain for most of the night so he couldn’t see much. He woke up this morning, took his protective glasses off, looked at me and said, “Wow, you’re so pretty.” The way I blushed!!

I think I took hanging out with my friends for granted when I was in college or even when I lived in close proximity to them. As an adult you really have to make an effort to see your people and check in.

Last week, my friend told me that the nerves and jitters you feel before a big moment are just your body preparing to experience something it hasn’t felt before. And I thought that was such a lovely way to reframe my thinking.

I saw a video on TikTok that talked about the importance of recognizing bids in your relationship and leaning in when they arise. For example, your partner getting excited about something and wanting to share it with you, and the importance of acknowledging them/connecting.

I’ll also say that as a newbie full time freelance strategist/consultant, the jump didn’t happen until I knew I could financially sustain myself for some time after I left. I used the protective parts of my anxiety to ensure that if I fell for some reason, I’d still be good.
