Saturday Number 17, 18 and 19

Saturday 17
You have decided to take 1 good nap a day on the weekends. I'm pretty sure you do this at daycare too but I'm not there to worry about it like I do on the weekends.

My birthday was the following Monday so you're Daddy took me out to dinner and to listen to some live music. We had the best time.  You stayed at home with Nana and Pappa Chicho and slept until 4AM!

Saturday 18
Today you turned 4 months old. I took your monthly picture like I always do. I have to remember to shut the blinds, it's a little weird on the lighting side but it counts and you were super happy!

We went to the grocery store to buy food for Nana's birthday lunch. You did really well in the cart, you even carried the ice cream cake (okay I put it on you but you didn't seem to mind)

On Sunday we put you in this little dog outfit because Nana has a dog just like it.


Nana was making you laugh
Saturday 19
For our anniversary your Daddy got me a video camera. I took several videos of you today.
I captured you waking up (terrible quality, I have to figure out how to turn a light on)


You had your first cereal this morning and didn't even spit it out! You can tell Daddy and I are super excited about this event and are watching you like some science experiment. I promise we do get out in public occasionally. (this is 3 minutes....can you tell we're first time parents?)

From Doer to Leader, 5 Tips to Make the Transition

You did it! You got the promotion and now manage a team. It doesn't matter if it's a team of 1 or 100 your skill set must shift from doer to leader. While many a doer get promoted, few take on the actual characteristics of a leader. Instead they stay in doer mode causing frustration, resentment and turnover in their organization. This is what I refer to as "death by doer." Killing all hope, creativity and productivity of a team. Don't become the grim reaper of your team. Instead adopt these simple behaviors to ignite passion in your group and share your doer gifts. Stop doing and starting teaching Why were you such a successful doer? Because you thought differently than your peers. It's time to share that thinking with your team. As a leader it's your job to teach your team how to think, not what to think. Many a leader get caught up in micromanaging tasks. They believe there is only one way to accomplish a task and it's theirs. This is the u...

That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up.  We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small!  Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar.  I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too! I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny.  So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people! This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. I...

Lean Into the Suck

I didn't coin this phrase but I believe it's the best description for the process I'm about to share with you. Have you ever had something hit you so hard you couldn't move? You were informed of the death of a relative, you were let go from your job, you had devastating news about your own health. Or maybe you didn't get into that dream school, you failed an exam or you screwed up at work. Any of these can knock you down. While I firmly believe in rising above the hurt and pain you feel I want to focus on the part before the rising. The part that the majority of people try desperately to skip over, 100% feeling the hurt, the anguish, the betrayal, the failure. This, my friends, is "leaning into the suck." If you asked me what eats at most people I would say it's their inability to lean into these emotions. We are in such a hurry to move on and "be strong" that we rush right over feeling and into solving. The Danger Why is it dange...
