Shout Out to Fellow Writers at My Day Job

Shout-Out to Fellow Writers at My Day Job

I was completely shocked when one of my bosses stopped by to hand me a copy of our employee magazine—featuring a full-page story dedicated to employees who happen to be writers. As I glanced down and saw my headshot among those recognized, I felt tears of joy welling up. It took a moment to gather my composure.

Filled with gratitude, I made my way to my general manager’s office to personally thank him for mailing a copy of my book, Live Long and Prosper, to our corporate team—the very people who put this story together to highlight writers across the company.

I’d like to extend a huge congratulations to my fellow writers:
📖 Dustin Barman—Bakery Manager, Wisconsin
🚛 Kevin Dixon—Truck Driver, Tracy, California
✍️ Erika Childs—Morning Merch Stocker, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Writing can be a vulnerable experience—putting yourself out there, sharing your stories (and even your blunders), hoping others can learn from them. But seeing this recognition reminds me that I’m not alone in this journey.

Great work, teammates! Keep writing, keep sharing, and have an amazing day!
