It’s hot and steamy, and Summer is flying by. School supplies are out, 4-H Fairs underway, and fresh produce and seasonal fruits plentiful. Sharing 5 randoms from my August~
1 ) Sweet Corn is ready, and will have a starring role in our menu this week – yum!
2 ) The past few years I’ve said “No thanks” more often than “Yes, please.” Saying “No” = “Yes” to me.
3 ) I’m in a transition phase again, example: encouraging team members to step into speaking roles meant for me. I share tips, and feedback then cluck proudly as they do well.
4 ) There’s been a round of losses in my family this summer – one Auntie, two Uncles. An unmooring feeling lingers with each passing. Uncle Mac, Mom’s “baby” brother, is one example – to me he remains forever young, hip, and handsome. A tall & lanky airline pilot; witty, adventurous, engaging ~ how / when did he get old?
5 ) Booked a trip with my sister this Fall ~ time waits for no one. Book the tickets, take the trips, and lean into real connections. Tomorrow is not promised.
And you? Care to share any randoms from your world this August?
