#3GoodThings Steamed broccoli. Oh how I forgot how much I love it. Conquered my anxiety, full-steam ahead, went to interview and guess what, felt really good about meeting them. In anticipation of the steamy heat tomorrow, I'm grateful for AC & fans to stay cool. Didn't intend to create #WordOfTheDay but here it is, it happened: steam.

#WordOfTheDay : Ferocious Merriam-Webster defines it as “exhibiting or given to extreme fierceness and unrestrained violence and brutality”, or simply “extremely intense.” If you like psychological thrillers, you must be a ferocious reader. #WritingCommunity
