Impressions That Linger

Yesterday nudged me out of my usual rhythm.

I reached out to a few colleagues in another building something I don’t often do.

What started as a work check-in turned into some warm, thoughtful conversations about our various projects. There’s something really energizing about stepping outside your bubble and realizing that collaboration lives just a hallway or a building away.

Then today came with its own unplanned twist. Some office issues had me back in the same building, sorting things out. While I was quietly handling business, a colleague popped in and said, “I could smell your perfume from the other room. You always make your presence known!”

Let’s just say… yours truly was caught completely off guard and blushing.

It was a funny, light moment that stayed with me. Sometimes, the little detours in our day bring the most unexpected reminders: that we’re seen, felt, and even remembered… in ways we don’t always realize.

Here’s to showing up intentionally or not and making an impression that lingers.
