About Me:
I'm a 30-year-old (eek! really?!) writer and editor in search of change in most aspects of my life, from my living situation to my physical appearance to my job. I have amazing friends, a white boxer named Cassie, and two hilarious "nieces" (daughters of my best friend of almost 19 years): 5-year-old Sophie and 3-year-old Savannah (more commonly known as Nani). I love to laugh, write, read and be creative. I love Stevie Wonder, John Legend and handbags. I'm an old soul who loves anything from the 1930s & 1940s.

Times are a-changing

Hello, I'm Justine, Associate Editor for HealthLeaders Media (part of HCPro). Wooo!!!! After two great interviews with the Marblehead-based company, they invited me yesterday to become a part of their team. I haven't been this excited, hopeful or optimistic about anything in a really long time. Everyone I've met there so far has been awesome - almost as soon as I walked into the building for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I felt comfortable. I was nervous, of course, as most people are in… Continue

Lord All Mighty, I'm free at last!

Relief. That's the best way to describe how I've felt since confidently walking out of the Turley Publications building in recent days. I've laid in bed thinking about how I've finally been able to put down that 2,000-pound weight that was my job for 7 years. No more feeling unappreciated and inadequate. Yup, that's right: no more Turley for me! I don't remember the last time I felt so happy. Although they screwed me over by "letting me go" (after years of putting up with treatment that no one s… Continue

I mean, really.

Something's got to give. Something's gotta change - otherwise, I don't know what I'll do. I'm heading to a Board of Selectmen meeting in a minute. Yes, I realize it's Saturday - but what better day to walk through the elementary school in Sturbridge with the architect who is designing the renovation proposal? I certainly can't think of a better time. I mean, who really needs to work during the work week anyway? I bet my warm bed misses me. I take comfort in that.

WTF

Is it just me, or does anyone else (namely Jac a.k.a. WriterJax, Sarah and Lisa) loath their ancestors today for setting up permanent camp in western Massachusetts centuries ago? I mean, really. Snow, rain, freezing rain, sleet and flooding? And that was just in the past 24 hours. This kind of weather was awesome when I was under 12 years old, scurrying to get my snowpants, jacket and all of the necessary accessories that would keep my extremities toasty. Armed with those red plastic sleds, we w… Continue

Am I her?

Well well well, so here I am. Although now lounging in a fancy hotel room in Boston, I sat through several press association workshops today in an effort to enhance myself as a writer/journalist. Much of it covered things I already know and have been doing for almost 10 years. As I learned more about writing good headlines and did what I could to save my ears from the dull screeching that was a "I'm not as smart as I try to convey so I use fancy words and attempt witty banter" woman, I wondered… Continue

I've seen that picture before. I think it was snagged off of the web.
