By Nhung Hurst

As a professional in the world of learning and development, I am often sought as a subject matter expert on personal and professional growth as well as managing relationships...and then I walk through the door and find out how much more learning I need to do at the courtesy of my husband and five-year-old daughter. Join me on my journey towards humility and accountability.

Before you get angry with me, I am only repeating the conclusion made by my five-year-old so if you’re angry with anyone, you can be angry with her. I have just starting reading Bringing Up Girls by Dr. James Dobson, and I read a section to Lexi about how g ... Read more...
In recent weeks, I have made some significant, life-altering decisions. Namely, I am leaving my job, one that has brought me tremendous joy, has allowed me to impact the lives of others and within an environment where I work with professional colleagues that care ab ... Read more...
I came to the conclusion yesterday that I am seriously lacking in the humor department. See? I can even talk about humor without using the word “seriously.” If I’m honest with myself, I’ve always been aware that I do not have the same sense of humor as others. But ... Read more...

Conflict at home can be entertaining. I’m not being facetious. After getting home and giving the rounds of hugs to the hubby and little girl, I noticed a note sitting on the chair that Lexi had written. You can see that note here: “You hurt my filings and ... Read more...
...suddenly here I am, I'm flyyyiiinngg...sorry about that. Just channeling the Peter Pan solo I did back in the fifth grade. I love traveling. I don’t love how mentally tired I feel from standing in security checkpoint lines or airport terminals. I definitel ... Read more...
I can honestly say that as an adult, I have never given much of a thought to earth day, earth month, etc…In fact, Lexi’s Daisy troop met earlier in the month to plant some small trees that had been donated to them. I remember thinking, “Oh, I have more important th ... Read more...
Today isn’t Lexi’s birthday. Huh? What kind of nonsense is this? Lexi’s birthday is in June, but it falls on a Wednesday this year so every Wednesday, Lexi talks about her birthday. “Mommy, did you know my birthday is on a Wednesday?” Yes, Lexi, I do. You’ve ... Read more...
