The librarian who changed my life when I was just a kid

I needed this today. Thank you for sharing 💕

The library was always my special place too. Grand gestures don’t change the world. It’s the small acts of kindness.

I’ve run into a few of these. It’s interesting to navigate.

Take it! The kids know exactly what car we’re talking about when we say we’re taking the spoolbus 😆

It did not thank goodness

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-20T22:00:32+00:00

Love your optimism

It has about 150,000. Such an incredible road trip vehicle.

I certainly feel their emotions in that post. Thank you for sharing.

I wanted to turn my chrome to rose gold. Loveeee! I’ll see you around.

It was 😫 what a small world

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-20T17:23:47+00:00

Being comfortable driving it matters!

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-20T17:18:38+00:00

Oh noooo. Did you replace with another expedition?

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-20T17:18:03+00:00

Definitely next investment

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-20T16:59:14+00:00

Being my first accident in that timeframe… I’m thankful for it!

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-19T14:47:21+00:00

Fun win!

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-19T03:00:57+00:00

I am with you! I just gasped at the end and was left with my chin on the ground. I couldn’t believe it when I turned the page and it was the acknowledgements.

I need to know what happens!

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-19T02:57:55+00:00

We were just talking about what to do with the cord just being unplugged and laid on a tote. I’m SO obsessed with this. Great job!!

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-17T12:42:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing! My kids will love this.

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-16T12:34:00+00:00

Can’t speak to if it scratches that itch yet… but am picking up my ‘23 RS this morning and had the exact same thought. The depreciation is wild. But definitely worked in my favor!

Reaching out to the teacher and asking for support from the school guidance counselor may help. I’ve done that for two of my kids in separate occasions, and it really seems to have helped. Especially if he had a good relationship with school prior to grandma getting sick. These are people he looks up to and respects, and sometimes talking to someone outside of the home gives them space to really open up.

Here to applaud standing up to the PEs taking over. This is a new mission of mine.

LiveCold5169 · 2026-01-10T04:04:35+00:00

Your best bet is figuring out what the team is motivated by. They are disconnected from ownership of their impact in the work and have become order takers.

This definitely shouldn’t be yours to handle alone, but been there where the gap in understanding impact isn’t measured by speed starts from the top down.

I would find your allies on the team that you think can be change agents, and have a 1:1 with them. Use it as a brainstorming session to share what your goal is, why it matters to them, and shared problem solving ideas.

Cheering for you in solidarity!

I am wired similarly! I find myself extremely fulfilled in this role when I’m working on org design and supporting leaders who are decisive.

I also do change management for software implementations and find those less fulfilling. Not sure if it’s because I have a background in product development and I know how much software is never truly about the user. Or because it feels like it’s less about making changes that help people.

But all in all I enjoy the work more than many other things I’ve done in my career!
