People Often Care More Than You Think-Here’s Why.

People Often Care More Than You Think-Here’s Why.

Welcome to my ‘tongue-in-chic’ life, style, and happiness guide from a funny princess point of view! Today I’d like to talk to you about how people often care more than you think. In my first semester of law school, I was so happy to acknowledge the birthdays of the students in my new, close circle of friends, bonded together by the relative trauma of first year-fright. I’d bring them a card, or a goodie or a little gift. But when my birthday came and went, and whereas I expected my friends to say something, I got zippo. No one even acknowledged my birthday, even though I dropped hints as big as a helium balloon that my birthday was coming up! Little did I know that the group was hatching a secret plot….CLICK ON TITLE TO CONTINUE!

How a small shift in perspective helped me deal with my big fat fear

How a small shift in perspective helped me deal with my big fat fear

Welcome to my ‘tongue-in-chic’ life, style, and happiness guide from a funny princess point of view! Today I’d like to talk to you about how making small shifts in your perspective can promote big changes in your level of happiness. I had one of the biggest, life-altering shifts in perspective when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was wallowing in fear, not knowing how to handle the trauma facing me. I didn’t know how to quiet my racing, run-away thoughts of despair and sorrow.

Don’t let stress steal your dreams when you first start out

Welcome to my ‘tongue-in-chic’ life, style, and happiness guide from a funny princess point of view!

We’re often told that we should sail in the direction of our dreams.  That’s great, but we’re not often told how choppy the waters are on the way. Especially in the beginning when we’re just getting our sea legs. We’re not prepared for the rough waters facing us as we launch our boat. We don’t foresee the stressful moments that make us question our talents.

When I started my career as a lawyer, I certainly didn’t think I was Clarence Darrow, but I had enough gumption to start my own law practice in a quaint New Jersey town after a stint as an associate. My office was located on the first floor of a building next to a train station parking lot. My very first law client was a “walk in” off the street. I was excited to have any clients at all, so I didn’t question the method of his engagement. After all, wasn’t getting a “walk in” one of the benefits of having a first-floor office? 

The guy looked around my office, stopping to investigate each diploma and certification on my walls. After a few moments, he asked me how much it would cost to have his name changed. Nothing weird about that request. I pulled a number out of my head as I had no idea what something like that should cost. I had never done a name change for a client. I had never had a client! The next thing he asked me was weird, however. Weird and disturbing…in a huge way…..CLICK ON TITLE TO CONTINUE!
