Slump

The slump is on. It’s a weird weather time here in Chicago. It’s officially spring, so says the calendar. But, we are still wearing winter coats, hats, and mittens.

Daily, I have to tell my 3-year-old if it is ‘long-sleeve’ day or a ‘short-sleeve’ day, as the weather shift is that extreme.

But the ickiness outside has permeated the inside. The inside of the building and the inside of our souls are reflecting the bleak weather. Everyone has had enough and we are looking for some sort of sunshine to bring us back to life.

I recently read two professional books that have reenergized my spirit.

Two books that reminded me why we do this job (even on cloudy days).

Two books that filled my soul with excitement for what could be.
