This collection of writing includes things I wrote all fired up, beyond burnt out, or flaming mad. Often these posts start on LinkedIn and turn into something more formal (or more than the maximum character count.)

I have heard "You wrote what I couldn't put into words" more times than I can count. It's probably why I kept writing (in addition to the fact that it's how I process the dumpster fire).

These 5 pieces are the perfect fix when you need solidarity, not solitude. When you have the feeling that we may just need to burn it all down and start over, read some "poetic justice."

I had hoped my brain fog and lack of energy would have released me from this type A notion that I could in fact write THE perfect post to start this blog.
