Love, leadership, and risky business
My blog is an intimate way for me to share my unique struggles and lessons learned in my pursuit of love, leadership, and taking OWL the risks! Writing is a way for me to process OWL the information I take in each week, and an opportunity for me to share my expertise with OWL of you.
As an added bonus, it’s hoo-sterical and very pun-ey!
Almost perfect
“Perfection is the enemy of action.” -Ashley Stahl
I was raised to be a good girl. Perfectionism was desired. Mistakes were often met with parental disappointment and internal feelings of shame and guilt.
These are my confessions…part II
So confession, today’s devotional and gratitude journal was based on my reading from individualogist.com (see below, FYI I’m an Aries).
Be willing to assess or reassess your determination levels where a goal close to your heart is concerned. You've invested time, energy, and faith in a cause or pursuit of some kind. You might also wonder what your investment of each has brought you…
Where are you?
It’s 2023, where are you? What time do you wake up? What is the first thing you do? When you look at your calendar, what’s on your schedule? Who is around you? It’s Monday, where do you go? What do you see when you step outside and look around?
You gotta have faith
Before this river becomes an ocean, you gotta have faith. But why faith? When George was asked precisely that question, his response sums up exactly how Kristen and I feel about faith. It represents the way I feel at the moment. It's kind of another word for my hope and optimism.
Grateful for you
Today I’m feeling grateful for you. If you’re reading this right now, I’m grateful that the universe has brought you into my life. As I sit here reflecting on all the humans I’ve encountered on along the way, I’m grateful for every one of you. Whether it was a reason, a season, or just plain old fashion luck that our paths crossed, I’m grateful for the impact you’ve made on my life.
Nevertheless she persisted
Today, I’m grateful that I didn’t give up after my mental breakdown. I’m grateful for all the Outstanding Women Leaders out there that refused to give up when life got hard. You inspire me daily. I’m also grateful for all the outstanding male leaders out that support us along the way.
Right where I need to be
Nothing humbles a human quite like failure. It reminds you whoo is in charge. And it brings you right where you need to be; a street called humility.
Grateful for grief
Today I’m feeling grateful I’m no longer riding the stages of grief wave.
Quarantined and Crushing It!
I don’t mean to brag, but I’m currently having a really proud Katie moment so I’m going to anyway. Plus, I just coached a client on the importance of self-love, so time to practice what I preach. But also, did I mention that I’m fucking crushing it right now?!
What are you grateful for today?
Today I’m grateful for another day of waking up next to the man who makes the miles of shit I Shaw-shanked my way through to meet him all worth it. Today I’m grateful I honored my commitment to write and share my gratitude with the world.
