Too often depression is viewed as an illness rather than a reaction to life's vexing questions, lack of meaning, abuse of power by those in charge everywhere, and hopelessly entrenched inequality.

I challenge the notion that disappointment with the human condition is an illness that needs pharmacological or other interventions. Those who are happy or content with the status quo are the sick folks in my opinion!

I used to be deliriously happy and naive. Then life got the best of me. I’ve lived both worlds and feel a little sad to think I’ll never find joy and peace like before. Ignorance is really bliss.

A few months ago I posted my resume here and a couple people said it was too long, 4 pages. I took a step back and was about to change it. Reading it I realized, those four pages truly captured ME and my experience.

Not even 2 weeks after I decided to trust myself, I was offered a Director position in the field I love!

I share that to say, take time to learn yourself. So you know when to take the advice of others or when to TRUST YOU!

I was on the course with my mentor this week for a business related event. All the men continually thought we were the cart girls and asked us to fetch them things despite being in a regular golf cart and wearing our (not beverage or course) company polos. Part of me wants to just say “it was hot anyone could make that mistake!” But part of me also feels like it was sexist and, based on prior experiences, it’s hard not to feel that way. Thoughts on and advice for these situations?
