The Shameless Brand

I t was just two days before Christmas and my love interest and I had just decided to spend Christmas morning together. No fault of his own, it was completely my idea and he complied. Moments leading up to his arrival, I had the jitters but decided that this would be the day that I would share my intentions. Rightfully so, I have expressed time and time again on both the blog and the podcast to go after what you want.

  I haven’t written on a professional topic   in quite some time and leave it to LinkedIn to push some new definition or concept that has been widely done for years upon years in the workforce. However, with the continuous changes in the workf orce and the contribution  of social media influence , I thought it best to share  some of my own insigh t s on the N ew ly T rending and M ost Q uestioned “Quiet Quitting ”.  

  I t was a Monday  morning, very winter weather for the Midwestern state of Ohio and I was in the cru nch of my life. Usually, when I say that it’s a foreshadow of what's to come but looking back, I know if I didn’t make a move, I would have been stuck for many years to come. See, this Monday   wasn’t my normal Tuesday it was the deciding Monday  for many Mondays   to come. I t was “Move Da y ” , a nd not just around the corner or the next city over , it was the distant move that I had been mentally preparing for, since the day I left. It was all together; I promise I was not procrastinating as I usually would when big projects come down the pipeline. I had it all figured out....  

  Family and friends, I hope all is well. We are right where we need to be and for some, I am sure we aren’t feeling like that is a good thing. I will be the first one to admit, that this space that I have been in has been a bit strange. While there are a lot of good things happening, there is a lot of uncertainty taking place too. And while I find that to be comforting on one end, on the other I have this extreme annoyance and anger that boils down to sadness.

 Hello Family and Friends, I hope you are well and preparing for the season change ahead. Of course, there are many other things to prepare for, but in my effort to encourage you to do something different I would like to put one more thing on your mind. As you know, I am blessed to work in an environment that allows me to travel to different states each week. While I am hardly home, I have the pleasure to work with people from different walks of life, different life trials, and more importantly people who look differently from me. This for some can be difficult, but for me, I have found a way to talk to strangers in un strange ways. 

Good day family and friends,  I hope you are thriving as we are coming up on the last four months of the year and going after those things you stated at the top of the year. For me, I have been in a very interesting space. If I had to title it anything, it would possibly be a "Mental and Emotional Reset". I know that sounds deep, trust me it's been even deeper going through it. I'm sure you are wondering what I am speaking of, and to be honest if I could give it all the words in the world I still don't think it would capture the fullness, but since we are here I am going to give it a try.
