So here I am, still in the NYC. My cats are still insane and medically challenged. But I have had some incredible adventures. Last Spring, I spent 75 days touring the US and world with H Rod (or "Hill" as one friend calls her). I got to see some really cool things such as the Great Wall, churches older than you can fathom, and the Midnight Sun above the Arctic Circle, and ate some fantastic food (Chicago pizza, which I'll take any day over NY's, and I developed a taste for reindeer steak).
The one thing I left that temporary tour thinking though, was how easy it is to judge someone when you know virtually nothing about them. And if we all took a minute to walk in someone shoes before we became our typical catty girls (myself included), the world might be a nicer place. When I took my job two years ago, I wasn't particularly impressed with Hillary. I am not a big politics person, but I just thought she wasn't very nice. But after seeing what I've seen for the last few years, I am a convert. I am such a big fan now. She has to be one of the hardest working people in the world. And I'm impressed with her political prowess; she's a politician without acting like a slimy vote-chasing sleaze. I've seen her in all sorts of situations, work and personal, and I really like what she stands for. Personal integrity. Hard work. Fighting for what's right.
I just hope I can remember all these things as I move forward in this crazy career and life.
It's so much easier being a catty girl sometimes! (I'm watching American Idol right now, and Nicki Minaj drives me bonkers!!)
