When you hear the word "rejection," what comes to mind? For some, it's the sting of unrequited love. For others, it's feeling ignored, forgotten, left out, or overlooked --both intentionally and unintentionally --in any given scenario (e.g., among friends, colleagues, complete strangers, etc.) Everyone experiences rejection from time to time, and most people would agree… Continue reading Navigating Rejection

The Day
Between two moves and a trip to Chicago, I didn't make time to publish new content this month. Not that there wasn't anything to write about...
