May 2023 Recap

May 31, 2023–time is flying.

I like to end each month just like I start it: with a little reflection.

I look at what went down before diving into the next month, looking for wins and reminders of small and big things that happened the last few weeks.

This month’s wins look like:

🏆 taking or defending another five depositions;

🏆going Up North for the first time in a while and enjoying the beauty of Wisconsin;

🏆 starting my role as summer associate work coordinator;

🏆 making the evening news for the grand opening of a once-traveling, now-permanent beer garden in our neighborhood; and

🏆 resting Memorial Day weekend.

When you’re in the grind (I’m finally coming out of it), it can be hard to pause and remember all you do—personally and professionally—in a month.

Looking back helps me see gaps in where I am and where I want to be, but it also helps me see the foundation I’m building for what comes next.

What are your wins for May?
