By most standards\u00a0of millennial success, I had a completely unimpressive, low key month.\u00a0No networking events, no important\u00a0meetings, no big\u00a0projects finished. But still, I want to share a few\u00a0memorable moments and (mostly self-proclaimed) “accomplishments”:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Walking down John R with a basketball. It’s amazing the\u00a0conversation and connection sportzy-looking things can prompt.<\/li>\n
  2. Yoga at the Jain temple. I have yet to make it exactly on time, but there’s something special\u00a0about learning this\u00a0practice at a place I so closely associate with\u00a0spirituality.<\/li>\n
  3. Chatting\u00a0with\u00a0the new general manager\u00a0of the business next door – La Palma. You know sometimes you meet someone and it feels like they are a long lost Uncle? Yeah, it was that.<\/li>\n
  4. Being there to witness\u00a0a former student play baseball…like a boss.<\/li>\n
  5. Helping\u00a0Billy clear\u00a0garbage from a vacant lot at the Oakland Avenue Farmers Market<\/li>\n
  6. Finally putting choreography to\u00a0a dance\u00a0that has\u00a0been in my mind\u00a0for\u00a0years<\/li>\n
  7. Helping my sister with homework<\/li>\n
  8. Dust proofing my apartment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And that was my month. Nothing that we\u00a0would consider\u00a0exciting, particularly impactful, or life changing. But one of the most meaningful months I’ve had this year.<\/p>\n

    \u201cReal change happens on the level of the gesture. It\u2019s one person doing one thing differently than they did before.\u201d – Cheryl Strayed<\/p>\n

    Oh, and I switched over\u00a0to a new team at work. But that’s for another post.<\/p>\n

    Harsha out.<\/p>\n
