April 8, 2024 I received some anonymous feedback today that really threw me for a loop – which is strange because my general stance on feedback is that it should be like breathing – it should be a normal thing that you are giving and receiving every day so it’s not a traumatic event forContinue reading “Disingenuous”

Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know
March 24, 2024 I just finished reading an excellent book written by one of my favorite authors about horrible breakups throughout history. Jennifer Wright’s “It Ended Badly” takes you on a tour of history by examining some of the world’s most well-known toxic couples. The overall theme she has woven into each chapter seems toContinue reading “Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know”
That’s Not My Drink
March 23, 2024 I just returned from a fantastic vacation in Charleston with some great friends. One of my favorite friend dynamics I have with these particular pals is that we all order cocktails over dinner and when the waiter brings the drinks to the table, we all pass them around saying “you wanna tasteContinue reading “That’s Not My Drink”
Main Character Energy
March 21, 2024 I got a request at work to write a blog for a newsletter. The requester asked me for a “few” paragraphs, but as I suffer from “Main Character Energy”, I provided about 8 instead. I thought I’d share what I submitted here. Hello, friends! Wow. I’m so excited for this opportunity toContinue reading “Main Character Energy”
Lexapro Pros Prose?
March 11, 2024 I’ve been listening to this book called “The Hot Zone”, which is about how Reston, Virginia nearly became the site of an ebola outbreak in the late 80’s. Basically, a lab received some monkeys from Africa, and they all started dropping dead. Then researchers examined the agent that caused their sudden illness,Continue reading “Lexapro Pros Prose?”
Empowered
March 10, 2024 Another International Women’s Day has come and gone. I spent the day teaching a class on building a personal brand, and then briefing some math stuff to some potential future clients. I was wearing a homemade sweatshirt that said “Empowered Women Empower Women”. In a sick twist of fate, when I wasContinue reading “Empowered”
Red Flags
March 2, 2024 Hellllllllllo blog people in the year 2024! It’s great to be here again. I took a little break and made my site private for a bit, but now I’m ready to get back in the over-sharing, self-depreciating, under-whelming-the-masses-with-my-prose, connecting-words-with-dashes, swing of things. Thanks for stopping by! I had a lesson in redContinue reading “Red Flags”
People Have 401(k)s, Rebecca
September 12, 2023 The Crystal City Sports Pub (CCSP) is an American institution. Okay, it’s actually a family-owned (and family friendly!) sports bar in a neighborhood in Arlington, VA that is two metro stops away from the Pentagon. It’s on a hip little street (23rd) surrounded by other restaurants and bars, a consignment shop, aContinue reading “People Have 401(k)s, Rebecca”
Introducing: Rebecca’s Love Equation
September 23, 2023 It’s a tale as old as time. Girl meets boy. Girl goes on dates with boy. Girl cooks dinner for boy. Girl catches feelings for boy. Boy starts being distant. Girl fires off text after being mostly ignored for a few weeks: “Can I see you this weekend?“ Boy: “I’m out ofContinue reading “Introducing: Rebecca’s Love Equation”

September 27, 2023 Ok folks, our first installment of Rebecca’s Love Equation is going to be a recap of a day in the DC for Oktoberfest. Two weekends ago, a friend and I took to the big city to see if we could find eligible bachelors in the Nation’s Capital. Here’s a quick run down:Continue reading “Rebecca’s Love Equation: Memoirs of a Bimbo”
