March 30, 2026 - Monday Musings

And…fin!

I am officially closing shop on my Musings.

When I first came up with the idea of these Musings, my motivation for writing them was to make connections, garner potential clients, and share a bit of myself with y’all.

But since I started these 3 years ago (my first posting was Feb. 27, 2023! Such a lot of work for what seems such little payback!), I have made very few new connections on my various social media platforms.

And in the past year, I’ve only had 2 new clients (yeah, I know the year is “only” 3 months old, but still).

And although I have succeeded in sharing a bit (or a lot) about myself, I'm to the point where I’m thinking, “Whyfor?”.

So unless y’all can give me some really amazing reasons to keep posting these Musings, Imma gonna quit.

And no, I’m not a quitter. I’m just tired. And done. And I’m old enough to know that if something doesn’t bring me joy, then I don’t need or want it in my life.

And sadly, my Musings don’t bring me joy anymore.

So I thank you for reading my posts. I also thank those of you who took the time to Like/Love/Care my posts (and to those of you who even took the time to comment - I truly appreciate it!).

And with that, I am off like a prom dress.

All the best!

Do you like pie? 🥧

Or…

Do you like pi? ∏

This Saturday is pi day (3.14).

I don’t like pie.

And because of that, I don’t have any pie recipes.

But my husband likes pie.

So, because I love him dearly…

And because it’s pi day…

I am going to attempt to bake a pie (with an ‘e’ on the end).

Does anybody have any good (easy) pie recipes?

Please share!

I send my heartfelt thanks in advance and leave you with this (my musing):

We do things for those we love because our love is greater than our dislike of the things we are doing.

P.S. I know the photo is not of pie. Remember: I don’t like pie so I don’t make pie. But the photo does show the idea of love. And that’s why I’m baking a pie for my husband. He likes pie. And I love him. And it’s pi day. Therefore, he will have pie (if I get a good, easy pie recipe).

What do you call a fish without eyes?

Fsh.

Ha, ha, ha, ha! 🤣

We all know a bad (ahem, dad) joke or two, right?

And we often use them in social situations to ease the awkwardness.

Why?

Because, according to Ian Brodie and Moira Marsh, two professors of folklore, dad jokes “...represent a dad at his most annoying, but also at his best: warm, silly and loving.”

I’m not a dad, but I do have a few dad-esque jokes that I can remember and whip out in a pinch if I’m feeling awkward.

And they get a laugh (or a groan), usually from me because I think they’re hilarious, and the ice is broken, or the conversation picks up, and the moment is eased.

I often find myself in awkward situations (I’m a white chick living in Kigali, Rwanda) and so I often find myself in situations where I want to ease the tension and get a laugh.

But when I coach, I know I need to lean into the awkward and not go for the laugh, but wait in patient silence. To allow my clients to have that moment of quiet. To give them the space to think or formulate or just be.

So while laughter is the best medicine, “The quieter you become, the more you can hear." (Ram Dass).
