Saturdays are my "day off" most of the time, but I wanted to drop in with a quick thread...

I woke up and saw "July 18" today and knew that date seemed familiar. Why was July 18 signaling something for me?

Midway through the morning it hit me. Three years ago today I left the job that I let tear me down, wreck my mind, and consume too much of me.

I'm not getting in to the details anymore because it's so far behind me now and I don't want to take my mind back to it.

What I will say is this: don't let your idea of loyalty bind you to someone or something that isn't healthy for you. Don't get caught in the unwinnable game of trying to change a toxic person or a toxic culture time after time.

It's okay to move on. Take care of yourself. When the burning building is about to consume you, all you have is to jump.

I started putting myself back together, found a new job I'm still at today. My mental health is still daily work, but my baseline is so much higher.

And without that experience, I would have never poured myself in to WBB and the #WNBA in the way that I do now. @WBBTimeline came out of that, and I thank you all for the unending support.

Whatever your situation: find your way out, find your way in, find your way up. Just know your way is there waiting for you. You'll only regret not seeking it out.

Until tomorrow: be well, and do good!
