Terri2019-11-13 22:29:352019-11-13 22:36:31Here's what you're doing right (says almost no one)
Surrender doesn’t mean what you think it does
As a rule, I’m a woefully impatient person. Put me behind someone on their first day of TSA precheck, and I will very possibly lose my cool. Someone blocking the exit at 42nd St. on the 2 train? Jesus, take the wheel. And yet. I’m built for quarantine. I just am. I get that not […]
FYI, we’re now in outer space
At a business conference in Orlando a few years ago, we were given after-hours access to Epcot’s mission:Space ride. I squeezed into a space vessel the size of a bathroom stall alongside three women whom I’d just invited to connect on LinkedIn. Inside was a 3-D monitor, a control panel of blinking lights, and a set of […]
Why people want to “do some writing”—right now
The other night, as we all hunkered down in our respective homes away from COVID-19, a friend told me she was going to stay in and “do some writing.” Wait, what? This woman had never, not once, expressed an iota of interest in writing! As an office manager, she doesn’t have to do “content” for […]
You’re Cuter Than You Think
How do you feel about the word “cute?” Maybe it makes you think of babies or puppies or Hello Kitty backpacks. Small, harmless things. Or, miniature replicas of larger things. Maybe “cute” to you is just shy of pretty and a few blocks from gorgeous. My friend, writer Becky Karush, believes cute is underrated. Becky […]
People who want to write tend to whisper
People seem to have no problem voicing their desire to buy a good pair of jeans or go bird watching. I detect zero self-consciousness from the person who tells me she wants to go see Mean Girls on Broadway. Or enroll in improv classes. But. When people want to write, they don’t say it loudly; […]
Do not COME for me with your kitten heels
Two things I love about my friend Jenn Lederer: She’s got an open mind and sharp opinions. She’s cool with whatever you want to wear, do, pursue. “You do you, girl,” she says, waving her hand at everyone and no one. But don’t get her started on footwear. “Wedges? Fine. Clogs, cool. Tennis shoes ok. […]
What is this? Amateur hour?
The Zen Buddhists talk about beginner’s mind. Maybe you’ve heard it as ‘child mind.’ It sounds enlightened, to come at this with a clean slate, to adopt a beginner’s mindset in order to gain new insight. Cool. But what about being … an amateur? Oh god, we hate that. Please! We’re professionals! We’ve been doing […]
Making it up as you go
After I got laid off, I decided not to get another job. I just…didn’t want one. Simple as that. I decided to work on my own, from my couch. As a natural introvert, I was in heaven. And yet—it became clear I had to get out of the house. So I signed up for an […]
