Bite Me

​I’ve always been annoyed by the phrase, “turn that frown upside down.”  Have you ever taken a picture of someone frowning and rotated the photo: CREEPY!!!
 
I was on a business call the other day and it was so refreshing that I could be myself: playful, joking, joyful.  Not the typical stuffy business call with a new client, but the type of video conference with a new marketing team where the two sides really seemed to click with ideas and the result was nothing short of amazing.
 
So why is it that we sometimes hide our light to try and play the part of a ‘professional’?  I’m kind of tired of playing that role.  And maybe coming out of this pandemic business will realize that things must change, which include not being so darn stuffy!!
 
If you are familiar with the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, they have Rule #62: don’t take yourself too damn seriously. 
 
And isn’t that the truth.
 
If we could all just chill the f&*% out (told you to stay tuned and you would learn the acronym CTFO), know that our country will continue no matter the outcome of the election, and that with a little bit of kindness on all of our parts and listening proportionately with our ears to mouth ratio, perhaps we can once again live in a world that I would be proud to welcome my grandbabies into (and nope, none on the way…but I can hope!!!).
 
Go in peace, take a piece, but don’t forget to leave a piece for the next!!!
