Comment on Quiet: A Book Recommendation by joaquinbarroso

Cool post! congratulations! I’m niot sure if I’m an introvert but I definitely get annoyed very easily by people and (specially) their small talk; bits of useless information or bundles of data I just don’t care about. At some point, long ago, I stopped thinking there was something wrong with me and started thinking it was something wrong with the world

Best wishes!

Thank you Jessica! Refreshing. What about “unrebel”?

This seems to be a book I should read since even now I generally feel led to believe that being an introvert isn’t supposed to be good for me.

My mom and I are referring to this book and hoping that we are in the midst of “The Rise of the Introverts.” If only it is to take our place as the Yin to the Yang. I hope this is the case. XO

Funny isn’t it? A year ago I certainly didn’t “plan” to become a stay at home Mom, and yet this is the happiest I’ve ever been.

Jessica…I found you by trolling Susan Piver’s twitter (I adore her)…

“And yet I’ve come across people who find it hard to believe that I’m not harboring a secret desire to do something huge, to launch a startup or build schools in Africa or have a high-level position at a famous company. It’s like there’s this expectation that most people are just biding their time doing something for now until they can finally do what they have always wanted to do.

But that’s not me.”

I salute you ! And I send you warmnesses!

You didn’t rely on fate or destiny. You didn’t need a list to make things happen. You just made things happen. May Serendipity smile on you

Comment on The New Disparity Between Work and Life by Taryn

Excellent question! Let me know if you find the answer. I lived in Charlotte, NC for 27 years. Seemed safe to buy a house after being there for so long, enjoying the work I was doing with local non-profits. Within a year of purchasing a condo in my favorite part of town, I pick up and move to Italy. Don’t get me wrong. I love my job and I love living abroad even more. But, now there’s the question of what to do with that cursed condo.
