Let’s Go to the Park

Feeling blue and don’t know what to do? See what you’re friends are up to and have a picnic. It’s a great way to get to know people as well as eat yummy food. Best of both worlds! It’s even better when everyone brings something to enjoy.  I suggest traveling to City Park. There are plenty of open, shady spaces to lay a blanket down. Plus the scenery is gorgeous all over. You can choose to pick a spot by the playground, Cafe Du Monde, or the bayou.

So today, I had the opportunity to get to know one of my coworkers better as well as her friend. We were able to talk about what it’s like being a woman, our relationship and career goals, as well as our interests. It was such a great experience to become vulnerable and be able to open up to like-minded women. But I’ve realized that the only way experiences like these can happen is when you let your guard down and open up your heart.
