I have a date with death: April 3, 2017. It’s not as ominous as it sounds, though – in fact I think it’s going to be a wonderful day. This will be my first day as a hospice nurse. Early into my maternity clinical rotation at NYU, I decided I should be a Labor and Delivery RN. Having

This past week I did something tough. I gave my notice at the company I’ve been with for the last seven years. I try not to write about work much and I’ve certainly neglected to write about all the interviewing I’ve been doing as of late, but I just can’t let this major life moment
I have been blogging for the past year about being a mompreneur, lawyer-style. Solo lawpreneur with a touch of mom, if you will. For all of you people who are audibly “ughhh!”-ing right now, because you absolutely detest these cutesy titles I’m always working into my posts, well, if you’re still reading my stuff

It feels so weird!), and keeping house and home with two little ones, the
It didn’t strike me as odd until a few years later, after I had a toddler and a baby of my own in tow. But when I was a relatively new associate at small but established Connecticut firm, I worked with a law student who was there for the summer who actively tried to hide
I’m considering a new career. Well, let me clarify. I’m not looking for a career change; let’s call it a career addition. It’s not that I hate my current job. I actually love what I do; I just want to add a little…something. But my little something will surely mean a big change for our
Last week I was working as I always do when my iPhone received an email from the CEO of our company. The dreaded “Layoffs are coming” email. This email was filled with tons of proper company jargon that makes it seem not as bad as it can be which is of course complete crap. The
I am sitting here in my office at work, just a few minutes before 8:00 p.m., as I usually am on Friday nights, because this is when my weekly CTWM blog post is due. Every week, I tell myself I am going to draft my post ahead of time so it’s ready to go by
