So What is #GBWritesWithOthers Anyway?
Since April 2019, I have run a guest blogging initiative on my website called #GBWritesWithOthers. Let’s talk about what it is!
The Remix to Ignition (You Probably Don't Know That Song...I'm Getting Old)
Jeez. I haven’t written a blog on my site since December 2020. It’s not that I haven’t been writing…it’s that I haven’t been writing for myself or publicly. I’ve done some ghostwriting for agencies. I’ve journaled. But…that’s about the sum of it!
Ready to Grow
Being in Maine has been a strangely magical experience. For instance, often times when I eat lunch looking out toward the mountain range, there is no one for miles. In Massachusetts, that wouldn’t be possible, and if by rare occasion it was, it would feel lonely...or even threatening. Like someone might be lurking. Waiting. You are not alone in many places in Mass (there are exceptions, but those places are extremely expensive to live in or remote).
She’s Too Emotional
Have you all finished watching the Youtube (now on Netflix) Cobra Kai series? Personally, I main-lined it in two days. It’s excellent, but that’s not the point here.
Post-watch (cough, cough: binge), I was left thinking about how emotional the four male leads were. Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso, as well as Miguel Diaz and Robby Keane. Sure, there were two main females with talented supporting females as well, but the main story is about these four. Four wildly emotional, unpredictable men.
Difficult Conversations and Too Much Adulting
My entire #GBWritesWithOthers theme for 2020 is about learning from quarantine, but I feel compelled to write another piece about something unique to me during this time of my life. My thirties have been a confusing period. I want so many competing things.
Never Tell Me the Odds
There are a lot of motivational quotes out there, but here’s one that doesn’t get enough love:
“Never tell me the odds.” —Han Solo
The man is saying it while he is flying into an astroid field. He admits he is in trouble, but uses the logic that his opponents would be crazy to follow him. He trusts his skills and jumps to hyper-speed. BALLER.
