People-Pleasing

The One Simple Solution to Every Problem

by Cheri Gregory

Why is this on my Visa bill? What began as an ordinary catch-up-on-finances afternoon escalates into a crisis. I thought they’d agreed to cover my hotel cost. A frantic search of my saved emails quickly proves my memory correct. This charge is a mistake. I call the hotel to explain that the organization that booked my original reservation should have been charged for my stay, not ... Continue Reading

How to Be the Best at Just Being Me

by Cheri Gregory

I will no longer fight you for me. It’s 4:53 AM, and I haven’t put my contacts in yet. So I’m squinting hard to read the late-night scribbling on my nightstand note-pad.

Why Disappointing People is the Best Thing You Can Do

by Cheri Gregory

"Well goody-goody gumdrops for you!" I'm talking back to the guy in the anti-bullying Facebook video I'm watching (although I should be sleeping). He's just explained the best way to render a bully powerless is "just don't react." Which probably makes sense to a lot of people. But for me, the little word "just" is like flicking a Bic on dry pine needles. "HELLO — SO GLAD THAT’S SO ... Continue Reading
