It’s hard to find and follow a thread of hope weaving in and out of the every day. Especially when we have so much tugging at us. Our little ones who need more than hugs and kisses. Our fears of losing more than we can imagine. Our high-risk jobs, with variable income. And of course, our diminishing bank accounts as […]

#TheLostGenerationX – #AllEyesOnMillennials

Ever read the book “A Moveable Feast” by Ernest Hemingway? He demured in Paris in the 1920’s, with the likes of Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound and F.Scott Fitzgerald. This group of literary geniuses was also known as La génération perdue = The Lost Generation. Similar to Gertrude Stein’s self proclamation during a depressed time after […]
Culture Before Business
Four of us, a few years back, made a pinky pact to create change in corporate America and around the world, and we formed a company to help make that change. Two years later, with several projects and one big huge beast of a project, we are now looking at ourselves and each other, and […]
People afraid of people
We live in a world that is no longer bonded by the idea of “we’re in this together”. It seems that we’ve become more and more isolated, whether it’s home to car to home or stay home and work remotely from a screen. Unless we take public transit or work in organizations focused on helping […]
Professional Home-dwellers
As I hammer through proposals and emails, make several phone calls, and set up multiple meetings…I am finding more and more smiles in my life, and less and less guilt about mid-day errands. Today I had to pick up my daughter and her friend in the middle of my work day for an hour-and-a-half lunch […]
Transforming the Work Week
I want to make a prediction. The workweek as we know it will shift for the corporate masses in the U.S. And I’m not talking about a “work from home day”. With enough studies to prove the ineffectiveness in the office, and enough technology to evolve how we work and collaborate, my prediction is that […]
Urban Retreat
Over the holidays, I was posing a question to family and friends during a debate on reducing our carbon footprint. What will eco-conscious families do about their second home? In an earlier blog post, I mention my second home. A condo that we had to sell at an all time low, after purchasing the expensive […]
It’s 5:00 somewhere!
Who cares that it’s Monday here, and Friday nowhere on earth right now?! At 3:40ish today, I was craving a beer. This doesn’t happen often… and the first thing that popped into my head was “Hmm… Maybe I should wait for at least an hour?” Wait! Let me remind you: I work for myself out […]
Falling out of love with the prospect of a new job
When I was working all day, away from home, I did it because I needed to. But I really loved my job. I loved the emotional high of being such an expert, guiding clients on business and brand strategy, managing client expectations and team expectations. In a way it’s like a form of parenthood where […]
Breaking Old Patterns
I love my rituals. I love waking up with – much of the time – one or two kids piled on top of me or next to me. My poor husband is either pushed to the very edge or already up so he doesn’t have to suffer from muscle cramps. My mornings were mostly consistent […]
