Some days I read the news and feel dread. And the only way to embrace hope is to laugh. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Find the humor in the dark and dreary. So you are having a bad day and the ether is not helping. Shut it down and turn to someone who […]

New Year’s Reflections
2014 has been quite a year. A year of new. New company developments for both companies. New clients and new relationships within existing clients. New Product ideas – with so little time to focus. And new partnership learnings, how we work together and let culture drive our business without getting in the way of our […]
Lady Bucks – a new currency for women
This clip from the John Olivier show says it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsB1e-1BB4Y Need I say more?
French “Feminisme’
This story is so absurd, it had to be French (influenced by the likes of Albert Camus). And yet… as surreal as it is, and rather shocking, it’s sort of the reverse truth of what it feels like to be objectified as a woman. In her case, the writer chose to cast the house-man as […]
The Non-Diet Diet – Minus Sugar
Do you tire of diets and fads and the plethora of apps and services to help you lose weight? It’s like trying to choose cereal in an aisle with hundreds of brands staring you down. Well, I’ve suddenly decided I’m not going to diet before my trip to the sun in 2 weeks. I’m going […]

5 Questions NOT to Ask People Who Work from Home
Hello World, it’s time for an unplugged letter. Please, please, please(!) stop asking me these questions about how I can possibly work from home. I find them at best, annoying — and at worst, offensive — and I bet I’m not the only one. I know you are just curious, but here’s how it makes me […]
Interview, Round 2
What types of things happen during the second interview? Do you feel prepared when you are called back? Are you anxious or dreading the event? Although not very typical for me to be nervous for interviews, I was quite nervous all day. I felt like I usually do during race day. I’m not sure, honestly, […]
