I started a writing group, a “Shut Up and Write” writing group. If you don’t know who or what “Shut up and Write” is, let me enlighten you. They are a nonprofit organization that encourages writers worldwide to write together. The structure is simple: come together, shut up, and write together for an hour, giveContinue reading “A Hipsy’s Creative Journey”

Dry April
Okay, so I’ve been fucking off for the last 30 minutes telling myself that I’m just going to start writing this blog post since sitting down to blog has been something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I always seemed to make an excuse for it. Now that I have gotten thisContinue reading “Dry April”
January Challenge
We are through with January, and there is just so much that needs to be shared. One of the things I have been focusing on for 2024 is narrowing down my goals and what I want to focus on this year. I’ve noticed that I tend to take EVERYTHING on, and I think that IContinue reading “January Challenge”
Hipsy in Leadership
As a Hipsy who grew up in a very different world, I find that life has provided me with the opportunity to see people from a very different view and perspective than the average person. Perhaps its the life experience from traveling all over the world or a skill that I’ve honed over the yearContinue reading “Hipsy in Leadership”
Character Building Days…
I had dinner with a friend and the topic of “have I blogged recently” came up… So here I am…sitting down to write. More because I’ve had a day that has left me once again wondering why I do what I do, and mostly because writing seems like a much better activity then crying aboutContinue reading “Character Building Days…”
New Year, New Goals
I’ve always been a goal oriented person. When I was younger we would do this ritual on December 31, where everyone would light a candle and say 3-4 things that they were thankful for that they accomplished in the year, their goals for the upcoming year, and an intention. As I got older and leftContinue reading “New Year, New Goals”
Hipsy in a Corporate World…
7 years….that’s how long it took for me to move up in a company and become the Vice President of Client Services. If you told me when I first started this job, that this is where I’d be, I wouldn’t have believed you. I wonder if I would have even stayed for so long ifContinue reading “Hipsy in a Corporate World…”
Homeowner to Landlord
So much has been happening I don’t even know where to start. I guess where I left off… We have our perfect home right in the city with the exact zip code that I wanted, but it’s only the beginning… It was time to put our home up for rent. Before deciding to do allContinue reading “Homeowner to Landlord”
Management Training
Last year, while I was undergoing my “awakening” (as I like to call it), I was struggling to decide if I would accept my current work, change my expectation of it, or leave and start something new. I’d gotten complacent and I let the “comfortable” settle in, so in an effort to change that, IContinue reading “Management Training”
What is Success?
What is success? What does it mean to you? How do you define it in your life? What do you need to accomplish to label yourself “successful”? What do you have to achieve for you to feel confident enough to say to someone “I am successful…I am a success”? These are the questions that myContinue reading “What is Success?”
