June is such an exciting month of the year. Not only do we get to celebrate fathers, but we also get to celebrate Black music month and Pride. There are so many ways this month represents the direction the world is going in, and that direction is towards more diversity.
Living through a pandemic makes the head spin. We’re experiencing high levels of fear for ours, and our loved ones’, health and safety, have a financial anxiety over the economy for ourselves/the community/our company/the world, while also being thrown into a situation where we suddenly have to adapt to completely (for most) new working conditions far away from our office with regular routines and co-workers, to a far less ideal workplace in our home.
Have you ever lost your train of thought mid-ride? Instead of barreling full speed ahead into your brilliant proclamation, something else popped up. Suddenly, your enthusiasm was replaced with the panicked urgency of thinking (often out loud) “crap, crap, crap, what was I literally JUST thinking!?!?”
As a mother, wife and business owner, I often find myself at the end of either of these two spectrums. A.) a very controlled tightly run ship which is basically running on autopilot or B.) surrounded by missing socks, forgotten lunches and a surge of business productivity.
“Can you hear me now?” the catch phrase capturing the annoying lack of cell phone coverage is, in current times, replaced with “Can you see me now?” (Followed by “What about now? I can see you…wait where did you go…?”) of the virtual meeting era.
