Wednesday Hodgepodge

 
 Hi Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I am joining Joyce for her fun linkup...let's answer these thought provoking questions...
 
 
1. What do you like most about your family? 
 

The unconditional love we all provide each other 
 
 

2. What's something nice that's happened to you recently? 
 
 

 
I had an HR professional write a really deep piece on Linked In about some folks who made an impact on her professionally.  She mentioned me in the post and tagged me.  She gave me credit for making a difference and she expressed gratitude- the greatest gift.  I placed her when she was an entry level Comp professional and she has now hit the pinnacle in HR- Head of HR/Chief People Officer.  It was honestly one of the most challenging placements in my career and I can tell you that it was so worth it.  I learned so much and grew an amazing relationship with her.  She has come back to me with business and I made a few placements with her at her most recent organization while at Willmott :)
 
 

3. Do you like the color orange? Besides a pumpkin and an actual orange, what's something orange you love?
 

I do...I started a "love affair" with orange over the last few years....loving orange clothing and of course, an Aperol spritz ;) 

4.  What's something you have now you couldn't have imagined having five years ago? How does that make you feel? What's possible now because of it? 

 


A dog!  It wasn't in our plans but COVID changed a lot...cannot imagine our lives without Remi...he is "my son" as everyone knows..."my baby boy" and he brings so much joy to our home! :)

 

5. Let's wrap this one up with an October this or that...

 

Pumpkin bread or apple cider donut - Pumpkin Bread
 Cozy sweater or cozy hoodie- Cozy Hoodie- recent choice- years ago it would've been a sweater but I am so into all of the stylish sweats nowadays  
Apple picking or pumpkin picking- Apple Picking 
 Scary movie or Hallmark movie- Hallmark movie :) 
Hay ride or corn maze- Hay ride- too claustrophobic for a corn maze-eek! 
 Twinkle lights or candles- candles- for the glow AND the smell 
Autumn hike or autumn bonfire- I guess bonfire- I like hikes/walks all year long 

 

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 


Homecoming is this weekend...we have worked hard on the garage to make it just right...now I have cooking to do (mostly for the parents) and the finishing decorating touches...I am looking forward to seeing Diana's happiness :)

Is it weird to look forward to seeing someone´s garage? Cause I am looking forward to see yours, lol! I hope that everything comes together perfectly- it sounds like it´s heading that way! How nice to get recognition from someone for the impact that you had on their career- very cool. Have a great Wednesday!

It's so special when someone takes the time to acknowledge someone who has made a difference in their lives. I love that this person took the time to do that. Have so much fun this weekend! We're all looking forward to the garage tour : )
