Instagram post 2192645708477412916_3597706610 I'm back!!! 😀 I havent logged into this IG account for about 3 months now so let me apologize for any missed messages. .
.
.
I've been busy though! I've spent the past 3 months creating products, branding, websites, etc for @green.witch.apothecary and all of my energy has been focused on that IG page. .
.
.
Now that I'm off the ground running with the new business, along with a good start of followers and steady orders coming in, I'll be able to start posting on this page a little more frequently again. I'd like to keep this one going for my own personal blog/writing/photos of kids that I cant get away with on the Green Witch Apothecary business page. 💛
.
.

Anyway, thanks for sticking around and if you like my photography work here, check out @green.witch.apothecary for more of it. 💜

Instagram post 2097513509219029678_3597706610 I'll never get over how beautiful it is to live here. As a good person, It's tough to live in a world full of so many bad people, because they really are everywhere.
.
.
Maybe I'm biased because I see it up front and personal, working in the legal industry.
The world really is full of horrible, scamming, bad people. A sad truth.
.
.
But at least I get to call this place home. Maybe good things come to those who deserve it.

Instagram post 2096914257279362872_3597706610 Days like today remind me why I prefer to spend my time in isolation, away from humankind. The world will break your heart if you let it. 🌿
.
.
I'm thankful for my husband and kids but wish the world would just leave us alone. Sometimes the drama is too much.

Instagram post 2096658818662733636_3597706610 System-abusers really rub me the wrong way. Every once in awhile, we have someone who tries to take advantage of our generosity and abuse it to their advantage. .
.
It takes a lot before I'll speak up about these  injustices, because it's usually not worth my stress and time, but at some point, I have to stand up for myself and the business, or people will use and abuse and walk all over you if you let them
.
In this particular situation an employee felt that they were owed and entitled to an entire month of PTO their first year on the job. They got mad when I finally said "No" to a request for another 3 additional days off.
.
Sadly, this employee lacks the personal awareness to realize that no one else even takes nearly half that amount of time off. We are a team environment where everyone has to work together and cover for one another when people are out. We simply wouldnt be able to keep the business afloat if everyone was taking a month or more off every year.
.
So I drew a line and I said no. And you know what? This employee actually became angry about it, saying she was entitled to as much PTO as she wanted to take since it was unlimited, even at the expense of the business and her fellow teammates. Even though she regularly misses performance goals and leaves her work a mess when she does leave, or regularly has clients angry and upset. .
I asked her where we draw the line with this? Next week when she demands an entire month off? Or when she wants 2 months off? How is this fair to everyone else? How can we be expected to keep a business up and running for everyone else to have a job to go to everyday? .
.
Sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself, and your other employees, even when you shouldn't have to. It's a sad truth that people like this employee exist at all, but that's the world we live in.
.
Do any of you ever have to deal with these system-abusers? They really ruin a good thing for everyone else, especially when everyone else is being fair and reliable about it.

Instagram post 2094597982205055195_3597706610 Dear little Saggitarius child of mine - may you never stop chasing the adventures in life or lose your curiosity for this world. Never lose your fire or stop exploring; you were born for it. 🔥🌌 Just please wait until you're a little older before you go outside by yourself, again.

Instagram post 2094321747424038896_3597706610 Wide open day, feels freeing. Just have to do a few hours of law firm work catch up and I may just spend the rest of the day reading books. Too early to tell yet.💟📚
