Coaching Files: Answering the intention and not the question
In which I learn to reframe a particularly rude and infuriating question that gets asked at every family function.
Family Holidays for the Non-Anchor Partners
I adapted. Thanksgiving isn't a Thursday holiday anymore. Now it's a Friday. Christmas happens several days later. Sometimes New Years eve is a day earlier or a day or two later, as well.
Thoughts: One Post, Many Topics
Too many different things in my head. Rather than post a bunch of blogs in one night, I'm doing the ol' One Blog, Multiple Thoughts post.
