I love end of year recaps. Maybe it's the author in me loving a nice, little summary to tie it all up in a bow. So, I'll have a few of my own over on the substacks. Starting with this one - my favorite albums of 2025. lauralostintexas.com/p/end-of-yea...

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.
If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

probably going to do some top-ten posts of my own over on my blog/substack. Thinking of things like:
- top 10 albums from this year
- top 10 books (that'll be hard)
- top 10 moments I was proud of myself (as someone with no confidence, that'll be super hard)
and a general recap of the year.

And that decision is killing me lately.
Had a major life decision I had to weigh this week, and now that I’ve made the right choice for me, I feel so much lighter.
Like I can breathe again and therefore tonight, I’m finally planning my goals for Q2.

I *love* six degrees of separation between celebrities and I just found a new one. Clark Gregg (aka Agent Coulson in Marvel) used to be married to Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing, and her father, Joel, was the Wizard of Oz on the OBC of WICKED.

All of February and beginning or March, I was seeing posts on Facebook about a new job. Turns out my employer changed my role in mid-March, so now I'm looking for a new job. Problem is that I've been in sales for most of my career, and I want out. I don't know what I'm at good at for a full-time job

Today I received an email expressing praise and appreciation for my work this week. That sort of simple kindness is like jet fuel for the soul.
I will never believe that empathy and kindness are a weakness. Praising a job well done, even when excellence is the expectation, is never bad.
