do some housekeeping on 43T!

It's a sign 2 years ago

for me when I don’t post on here for 3 weeks. It tells me that it’s time to clean up my 43T, that my list doesn’t adequately reflect me when I have no motivation to write here. I still love all of the things on my list, but I’m definitely feeling I need a reinvention of sorts. So…it’ll be on my mind the next few days, and hopefully I’ll be back with my broom and mop to clean up this list!

12. My ex boss, L- 2 years ago

Although she was only my boss for a couple of months, thanks to an unexpected move back to Ohio, I think I learned more from her about managing people than I have from all of my previous working experiences combined. She was the best boss. She gave you the tools to succeed, and then the freedom to shape your own work experience. She did not micro-manage me, or check and double check everything I ever did. Instead, her door was always open, beckoning me and encouraging me to come talk if I wanted to. She was lavish with praise, and careful with constructive criticism. She asked after each every special occasion I might have had—just a quick, “How was your trip this weekend?” or “did you enjoy the new restaurant you tried last night?” She epitomized a good manager for me, and I hope to remember the example she provided me wherever I go in life.

8. Shop and lunch in Yellow Springs 2 years ago

Check! I did this today with husband, and we had the nicest afternoon. Yellow Springs has such a hippie heart (home to a liberal arts college like my beloved Otterbein!), and I loved the unique, eclectic, all locally-owned shops. We lunched at a 107 year-old tavern, and I bought some apple butter at a local dairy farm, and then I found some beautiful little Tibetan prayer flags at a…you guessed it, Tibetan gift shop. It was a sunny, beautiful day, and walking around in Yellow Springs today, admiring the local theaters, floral and jewelry shops and eateries, reminded me that even a city I’m less than enthusiastic about living in has a few surprises in store. I just have to be willing to look around…
