Warning/Update: Yes, I am a GO but as this is no longer a DOD official account if someone choose to be a jerk to me or anyone else for that matter I now have the authority and power to block and mute folks - a gift I will freely use.
My firm has been an avid @Dell product purchaser for years but today that ends. Getting any support for a new computer purchased with a blue screen of death & dealing with useless tech support has costed hours & $ wasted. This has been beyond frustrating. Not what I
expected.

10 years tomorrow. Since we have been missing our committee member, Army & AIR Force veteran SSGT Karl Nawskon has been gone. The next day I had to personally dedicate the groundbreaking to the star of heroes to Karl with his family in attendance. Say a prayer for him and us. – at Villas, FL
4th of July 10K. Sucky run but got er done. Hip gave some sass & couldn’t find a steady pace. So I did the logically thing: turned on a tried & true Army running cadence playlist to help me settle into run. “My grandma is 91. She does PT just for fun”🎶👟❤️🇺🇸🧨#allfora$1bombpop🤣

Close to $700 (which as crowns go is cheap) later I have a temp crown 👑 and am scheduled for a return visit to the dentist 2 weeks out. Bring on the extra strength Exedrine.
Lost a crown last week while on duty but as a reservist I’m not covered for dental. This week getting fitted for a new crown at my civilian dentist. Access to low or no cost medical and dental insurance for Guard and Reserve members is critical to readiness. #NoCrownStillaQueen

Who you surround yourself with and how you show up for others matters. Level up! Happy Monday! #blessed #gratitude
I’m blessed to be surrounded by amazing people in all facets of my life who not only help me do what is needed to set me up for success but more importantly they help make me a better leader and person. It takes a team.

I’d trade my 2 1/2 hours of work or nap time on any flight for my kiddo anytime even if it’s only serving it’s as her oversized human pillow. She may be grown but she will always be my baby.

Always show up; and get fun running shoes when you can.
Yesterday sucked. My bestie reminded me this morning that even when we don’t feel like it the key to success is to just show up. Always show up. So today I’m wearing my new fun running shoes to the office. How can the start of the day get any better? #smallwins #gratitude

Don’t mess w Disney lawyers. They didn’t sleep in law school property class. “Rule Against Perpetuities? Cool, let’s make the declaration valid until ‘21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, king of England’”🤣 orlandosentinel.com/news/os-…
There are once in a life time recognitions you participate in that leave an indelible mark on you. A reading of the book, The Angel of Bataan says a lot of LTC (Ret) Hortense McKay and the type of leader she was, paving the way for women today, for whose service I am indebted.
Humbled to recognize an amazing female leader by presenting the Congressional Gold Medal this weekend posthumously to Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Hortense McKay aka the Angel of Bataan. A women before her time, a recording of the ceremony is available at: youtube.com/live/2fA_IDEpsFw…

Marry a man w/ a heart of gold & shows kindness to the littlest. Walking to Fort Finn Castle we gained a little friend who followed us. It’s hot & our furry friend clearly was thirsty. I looked back & saw hubby/Uber driver found a coconut shell to pour some water into for him❤️

Attending @AAMLFellow midyear conference in The Bahamas. Excellent presentations on handling high conflict cases & deposition skills. Took a break for lunch by the ocean with Uber driver/hubby. In the evening enjoyed a Junkanoo parade. Still need to order that pina colada🍍🥥🌴
Normally I have overnight oats in my room for breakfast but I decided to be wild and shake things up this morning. Am I the only one who gets excited by the hotel’s self making pancake machine?!? 🥞🍽️

Glass shattering firsts and onlys are important but they don’t mean as much if we don’t set the conditions to ensure they aren’t the last.
“It will take continuous engagement to reach a place where there are no more “firsts” or “onlys” left … where women are simply a foundational part of every team at every level …” Women in the military: Moving beyond ‘firsts’ militarytimes.com/opinion/co…
What one calls irony: Finished the Walt Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon and lost my crown (yes the tooth kind) in the process. Those energy chews aren’t for the faint of heart 🤣🤣🤣
It’s a doozy out there. Act accordingly please.
Be safe folks. Hunker down if you can. Your Minnesota National Guard is ready to help when and where we are needed. @MNNationalGuard kare11.com/amp/article/weath…

Thanks everyone who rolled up a sleeve to help make our community healthier! Great lifesaving partnership with @StPaulSaints / @CHSFieldStPaul and @RegionsHospital! 🤗
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Blood Drive with @RegionsHospital and @mnredcross last Friday in the Securian Financial Club!
Sometimes I get to do cool things and honor amazing women whose shoulders I stand on.
