For me, I don't really vacation in the US. When I want to get away, I truly want to get away. A bunch of domestic flights to cities I probably already travel to (because I'm flying SWA) isn't really worth much to me. I'll alt travel domestically if I need to.

I try to keep status on both SWA and Delta. SWA- best for domestic flights booked in advance (and lots of great promotions) Delta- best for upgrades, last minute domestic flights on points and international😊

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!

Thanks in advance!
