Oh the woes I could share of having 3 kids (“naturally”) and a hysterectomy between 2009 and 2014, with a “partner” hell bent on being a dependent instead. (Zero recovery time for me 🤷🏻‍♀️)

But, I’ll spare the gory details. We survive, it’s what we do, and find a way to move on.

Instead, I’ll comment on the AI statement. I laugh because I have become one with ChatGPT in my work life. It’s comical, maybe even ironic. I have reached the point in my personal endeavors that the gloves are off. Take me as I am, or not at all. I am not afraid to be vulnerable, and can be painfully honest. I will literally answer any question. (Some find this reassuring while others find it alarming.)This translates differently in my work life. While the honesty still holds true, I am more careful in how much of myself I give away. My electronic communication tends to be more straightforward in my work life, which tends to come off snarky which is not my intent. I use AI to fluff it out, make my human self sound human and less like a robot. 😆
