How softly it falls from the back of my spoon to caress the cake, like clouds, or magic, or wishes maybe and I, in making good don't know how to breathe. Then the spoon begins to dance with it's bowl finds more cream in it's enchanted depths offers it to me. #DawnWord

My hands don't know the shape of a cat's cradle. They just know how to cling like lost things or flutter in search of light that never comes or twist into fear's claws. Will you show me? My bones don't remember how to play but I long. #DawnWord

The days you remind me to wrap up in starglow so I don't grow cold and hollow and cracked are the days I feel luckiest to be alive because the tears and longings inside of me have someone that understands when I can't and that's worth all the moonglow and more. #DawnWord

Tricksy tea mug I'd like to lodge a complaint! You hopped off the counter, right onto my hard floor and now you're dead. And I know you shouldn't speak ill and all, but really, you were my favorite and I'll get to mourning in a minute but right now, THE FUCK! #DawnWord

Very eager to hear from Joan Wolf tonight in #Comm481 about how her recruitment process might give her a greater understanding of the organizations in which she works. It's always interesting to see how talent comes together @MetroPRMajors

It's fascinating to see all the threads coming together as the end of #Comm481 nears. There's still a lot to learn in the field, but this has been a truly staggering opportunity to get to hear from some really accomplished leaders and apply their lessons early. @MetroPRMajors.

I love hearing about things like this from Wise Ink Publishing, my tracking organization for #Comm481 @MetroPRMajors. Community events are always special and things like this are a small but important part of the amazing work these guys do, building a better world one story at a time.

I'll be interested to hear about the strategic angle of communications from Heather Cmiel today in #Comm481. This is an area of the profession I find incredibly intimidating as someone who struggles to think strategically, so I'm hoping she can help break it down. @MetroPRMajors

Mental health doesn't get enough attention, so I'm glad it's getting covered in tonight's #Comm481 class, especially with the sometimes precarious lines that need to be walked in this profession. May we all remember to take care of ourselves, and each other @MetroPRMajors

As this part of #Comm481 draws to a close, I'd like to sincerely thank our professors for organizing such insightful speakers and helping us find the resources to succeed in a competitive world. It has been an honor to listen and learn from all who've presented. @MetroPRMajors

Shout out to all the workers at Twitter. You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better. Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it. Thank you 💙

"Making the case means answering the big questions: Why this project, now, with this group of talent/investment of money? Who is the audience (or customer)? How will we capture that audience/customer?" Great partial quote from Brian Grazer's A Curious mind @MetroPRMajors #Comm481

One of the most impactful takeaways from Brian Grazer's A Curious mind was the fact that questions can open up a new style of leadership, with no need to give direct orders or get bossy. This approach is kind and also keeps things real, always invaluable. @MetroPRMajors #Comm481

We enter this world in a screaming, eyes screwed shut, fists beating at the air with grief and fear until curiosity tickles our wrinkly palms and we open like flowers. Everybody talks about this but nobody talks about how we lose these things a bit more every day. #DawnWord

Storyteller I ask too much of you I know but your words alone can dry the tears in my eyes wipe the tired blood from my skin So please tell me of kindly truths and good people who dream into the real and healing, with or without chaos-- Of safety, nebulous though it be #DawnWord

Between skin and soul there's an unbound space where Language lurks, a moody glamorous houseguest. Sometimes, she is quiet, falling from our lips like dust. Sometimes, she is heat and light in our fingertips, a tingle on our tongues. Always, she listens. #DawnWord

I want to speak the language of my lost, to translate untranslatable things, find the liminal synergy of my innermost wounds. Pain is a universal blade, in the end, and I am no martyr, I just need to know, to hold, to feel things folded away-- Why Do You Not Understand? #DawnWord

I'm still finding my home filling its eighth dimension with pieces and patchworks bleeding longing and light and love into its foundation. Sanctuary. --and yet I worry. safety is easily snatched and in the shelter of these four walls I am small. #DawnWord.
