#givingTuesday

Hello World!
How are you? Happy Tuesday, I imagine it is hard to not realize that it is also #givingTuesday, a time that charities, non profits, and movements ask for your contributions. It can be challenging to give money, especially if you shopped with Black Friday or Cyber Monday, or if you are just not in a spot to shop at all. I realized today though, that you can give time, talent, awareness and positive energy to the causes you care about and I believe, it is just as valuable. I gave a talk at my university today and it was a simple thing, to share my knowledge and experiences, but it seemed to matter. I left feeling energized and inspired, like the real giving was really to me. That is the beauty of giving your time to things you care about, it comes back to you in ways you don’t expect. I am grateful to be able to give and receive and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

Sorry not sorry?

Hello World!
I’m still here, and back where I was before, feeling bad about my lack of blogging. To anyone who has missed my posts I am truly sorry. I realized however I am not sorry for pursuing my dreams and living a stylish STEM life, which is busy crazy fun and the like. From Science Friday with Ira Flatow to meeting fashion designer scientists, to writing book chapters, to spending time with family, life in the STEM lane is always busy. Can I be better with my time, tech, writing, etc? Yes. But I do not want to apologize for being me, the only thing I can be. Being surrounded by awesome ladies who also strive to have a positive impact while balancing demands has taught me, we can always be better and we can always be worse, Together we rise and be greater than the sum of our parts. We should never feel bad about that!
