Small Kindnesses
In this stage of my life, small acts of kindness are my love language.
It’s All About The Experience
One thing about my husband that surprised me was that he told me he enjoys listening to sad music. As he put it, he wants to “feel all the feelings that life has to offer.”
Sam Says, “See You Later”
If Sam heard her mom give one more “Pollyanna” speech about how lucky she was to be a military kid, she was seriously going to vomit. That feeling also rang true for the word resilient. Message received!
Sam, like so many other military kids got it. They understood the drill. They move every two years, they have to make friends quickly, they are flexible and adaptable, yadda, yadda, yadda.
They were just words.
Get Up, Get Out, and Get Going
We have all gone through a transformation since last year. There was no playbook to follow in how to survive the COVID-19 pandemic. Now is not the time to be held captive, so Tina Klein chose to help others to navigate.
ASK-EM All the Questions
My husband and I love watching shows and movies. I remember this being one of the things we even discussed in pre-martial sessions—how we liked uncovering the “story” together. But the longer we’re together, we also notice and poke fun at each other for little habits, and eventually, our habits overlap.
Cherish or Cling?
Many moves ago, my husband, our infant daughter, and I moved back to the United States after an overseas posting. It was not my choice, and I was not happy. I went into it with my arms crossed and my eyes closed.
At night I dreamed about my old house, my old neighborhood, and the good friends I left behind. I emailed my “old” friends every week. When I met someone in my new community, I couldn’t help but tell them all about the great life I had before.
Strength in Weaknesses: Navigating an Honest Interview
There are niche interviews all across the job market. However, there are standard interview questions we all prepare for as we get ready to sit across from our (hopefully) new boss and sell our skills, trying to strike the perfect balance between humble and confident.
