q's to ask when your birthday approaches 🎂🎂🧁

So Reader, it's almost my birthday. And this year, it's a big one with a zero on the end. 😳 I'm rarely frightened by big zeros, but this milestone's been troubling my big beautiful brain a bit. I'm talking back to it, though, remembering that my grandmother used to say "birthdays are better than the alternative." Me, I'm incredibly grateful to add another year to the roster, especially after all the world's challenges of our recent past. Typically, I like birthdays a lot, and I know some of you do, too. But the passing of another year can bring up a thousand questions, like:
I'm not immune to the swirl, but over time, I've narrowed the questions down to these: Read my article, "4 Career Questions to Ask Yourself on Your Birthday" And no, one of the questions is NOT "is there more cake?" 🧁 So, how about you, Reader? What questions are you asking yourself right now (whether it's your birthday or just a regular ole day-day?) Hit REPLY and tell me. I always want to hear from you. Plus, there's no judgment here, no right or wrong—you be you. I learn so much from each of your stories and experiences. As I get ready to honor the day I was born, I'm also sending out waves of appreciation to you. Your presence is my present, today and always. Thanks for being here and keeping your red cape soaring in our world of work. Always, Darcy P.S.

Hey Reader! As I write this, we're in heavy storm prep here in southwest Florida where I live. By the time you read this, the storm's likely left a mess of mud and heartbreak to clean up. Now, I've been through hurricanes before. So here's what I already know about the "after"-- I'll need help. Smart, capable people like you and me have such a hard time asking for help, don't we? We think, "Oh, I don't want to bother them," or "Well, I'm sure they have their own stuff they need to handle."...
BLOT for Reader--layoff season means it's time to make sure others see your value. Read how here. Something weird happens at this time of year, right Reader? No, it's not pumpkin spice underload . . . It's something a whole lot more gruesome: layoffs. I heard from a few of you this week that your companies announced end-of-year layoffs--or that you suspect some are coming. Being laid off can suck for air, even if you're expecting it. It can be just as hideous to be among the ones left. Since...
If there's one thing I've learned, Reader, is that there are two sure-fire investments you can make in life that will always pay off. 💰💰💰 The first investment is in your own brain. Understanding it, adding to it, using it—definitely fund that account any day of the week and you'll always see positive returns. 💹 The second investment is in relationships. Because everything else you need happens through people. Yup, there's no getting around that. So how do we build—and maintain—good...
