“I Hate Love Songs” – Kelsea Ballerini
@alexandrthecity My book review pt 2
My mom’s sister, Sandi, has been coming from Kelowna to stay with us in Regina for about a month every spring ever since my son was born.
Since my mom was diagnosed with dementia she’s ended up spending more of her time in Indian Head so she can be with mom. She’s also been coming out a second time in the fall.
So Shea, the kids and I don’t get as much time with her as we used to. But we always look forward to her visits and feel sad when she has to go home.


I’m going to try to (roughly) put these in order but it’s a long list and so I may not get it perfect…everybody I’ve reported to at RPL in 17 years, either officially or temporarily when I was between managers (which could often be a fairly long stretch as well.)
I feel lucky as I talked to a former colleague once who said she felt like she had 80% terrible supervisors and 20% good. I feel the opposite – there’s only a handful on this list I thought were terrible and most were decent – just that all had strengths and weaknesses (like everyone.). I won’t identify them but there’s only three I would put in the “Exceptional” category.
@simonsinek Words may inspire, but only action creates change. When we lead with empathy and respect on our own teams, we send out ripples of positive impact that will reach far beyond our immediate circles.
Going through a bit of a Beautiful South phase right now. Discovered them while on exchange in England and have fond memories of singing their sarcastic lyrics over beautiful melodies in the hallway with my dormmates.
Even had “Prettiest Eyes” as Shea’s and my first song at our wedding dance!
