I just let myself stay stuck until sometimes breaks loose. For me and my personality, if I dwell too much on writer's block, it just gets worse and turns into this loop of, "I suck. I'm no good at this. No one will every care about anything of this." Instead, I get some space. I read something else--blogs I follow or a book. Sometimes, I pick up books I read a while ago, but forgot what I loved about them. Sometimes, I practice active reflection--I focus on something I said and then identify my own motivations behind the words. Why did I say that? How did it affect the other person? Why did the interaction evolve that way? I do this for both negative and positive interactions. It helps me parse apart the complex dynamics of human interaction. Another way that I move through writer's block is by talking to others. There have been a few times when simply trying to articulate what is preventing me from moving forward is the key that opens the door. In the many times that I've used this approach, the other person doesn't say a word! They just nod and listen and after I've talked it through, I know what to do.(less)

By far. For me, writing is always about helping others. It's my own personal ministry in life. I truly have trouble writing something that I feel is not useful to the reader or that doesn't connect emotionally with the reader.(less)

My Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post.

I started this blog ten years ago when my daughter was two years old. I started it to continue the exploration that I started in my memoir. I had a lot to explore and unpack about becoming a mother.

But the transformation is complete now. My kids are moving into phases of their lives that are starting to be wholly separate from mine. This is new and scary. I’m also excited

“Controlling for a large number of additional variables, they found that firms with at least one woman among the first hires were more successful and stayed longer in the market than all-male start-ups.”

“In their otherwise depressing review of the efficacy of diversity training programs, Frank Dobbin and colleagues found accountability to be one of the most important mechanisms related to the diversity of the labor force. Assigning responsibility for managing diversity to taskforces, diversity officers, or some similar committee was strongly associated with an increase in workforce diversity, including in the fraction of women.”
