Dirt under my fingernails

I am the woman with dirt under her fingernails.  I am not afraid to get in thick of a situation. I take care to rinse the dirt out yet I am proud to find them filled with dirt later.

I work hard. I work smart. I procrastinate. I work best in collaboration. I work hardest alone under a time crunch.

I am the woman who loves sneakers. A causal shoe is my best friend. Yet, I love the drama of high heels and dress flats. I am learning that I am far more that single deminsion descriptions.

Nail care, work ethic and shoes aside I am evolving particularity. I sit in rooms with people who have the affinity for the same things yet we are so different. 

I wonder how hard we work to learn one another beyond simple words and description. 

I have written off conservatives without a second thought before.  In this new chapter of my life  I am working  to meet people.Whole people. Not straw characters.
