The Circle of Life, Ying and Yang, give and take, the Earth has a way of balancing and interconnecting everything. These are two of my favorite videos that not only show the interconnectedness of life, but also how one small act can make an entire world of difference. In 1938, Sir Nicholas Winton, saved almost […]
Growing up in Florida, swim team was a way of life for most children in my neighborhood. As the years progressed and I became more involved in swim team, more hours were spent in a pool and around my coaches and teammates than with my own family. Unknowingly, I didn’t just learn to be a […]
It took a few viewings of Almost Famous for the great lessons of the movie to take hold. My favorite lesson is about Mystique. It’s been four years since I wrote about that lesson. It’s one I’m still working to learn. Is it movies that have instilled the belief the grass is always greener somewhere else? Or, is […]
In 2011, I set out on an adventure of 100 Discoveries. I thought I could finish in a year. But, the reality is, you should never finish an adventure like the one I created.

A tweet that’s gone awry, someone who tweeted to the company account instead of their personal one, a “cute” post taken not quite right. Most are mistakes made by interns or freshly minted associates. You could say, teachable moments. Others, […]
A decade of memories is all we have. Ten years ago seems like a whole different life. I can’t even fathom what you’d be like today, but I know I’d be proud. I stumbled upon this quote by Jasinda Wilder this week. It’s not quite apropos, but it made me realize, that while you are […]
“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is something valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.” – e.e cummings Perception is a funny thing. Oftentimes, it’s also a reality. And more often then not, our own perceptions are our worst enemies. Our perceptions tell us that […]
