The Responsibility of Citizenship

Lindsay Updated April 21st, 2017 Daily Life, Personal Growth, Self 6 Comments

What is the responsibility of citizenship? from Let Me Give You Some Advice

"Our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted. All of us, regardless of party, should be throwing ourselves into the task of rebuilding our democratic institutions.... All of this depends on our participation; on each of us accepting the responsibility of citizenship, regardless of which way the pendulum of power happens to be swinging." I've been mulling over ...

Lindsay Updated April 21st, 2017 Daily Life, Personal Growth, Self 9 Comments

Word of The Year from Let Me Give You Some Advice

As a big picture thinker, I'm totally on board with the word of the year trend that seems to be sweeping the internet. I love the idea of a guiding thought that helps shape the decisions I make or the things I choose throughout the year.

Coping with change when you’re overwhelmed

Lindsay Updated November 5th, 2016 Personal Growth, Self Leave a Comment

Empty pier on a grey cloudy day

The night before a big change, I usually don’t sleep very much. If I’m being honest I’m kind of a mess for several days before and the bigger the change, the longer my dread lasts. You see, for me it’s the before that is so much worse than the actual change. Once things get started I’m usually excited and reveling in the novelty of new beginnings. But the before time, when I ... Read More
