This past weekend I began my next phase of social hibernation in an attempt to finish my book’s first draft so that I can start to search out editors to help me polish it up. One of the remaining chapters that I had planned to write yet hadn’t started was about my Nana; also known […]
I’m not exactly sure how to start this one off, but it’s apparent to me that despite how many times I write or say something… I always need a reminder to remember what’s important in life. Maybe you do too. Yesterday I found out that a friend of mine, Ralph, had passed away back in […]
So I had a mini-breakthrough yesterday after chatting with a friend of mine in the morning… I am constantly seeking external validation. The context of the conversation was actually in regards to my recent dating experiences, but I realized it extended well beyond that. Simply – I am always yearning for recognition by the individuals […]
I took a gamble, and it didn’t pay off. At the end of this past summer, I left my comfortable gig as Director of Marketing for a men’s fashion brand and took the leap to become VP of Marketing at a plant-based meal delivery company. I was extremely excited at the time as I felt […]

Time has been a topic on my mind quite a bit lately, especially as we all seem to have a lot more of it on our hands since last year. I’ve noticed that as a general rule of thumb, the majority of us have no concept of time as it relates to our mortality. What […]
2020 brought a lot of lessons, with one being the importance of maintaining a proper work-life balance. Those of us who were fortunate enough to keep our jobs during the pandemic also found that a merging of our work & personal lives started to occur, whether we liked it or not. As my living room […]
It’s the beginning of 2019, so that means it’s around that time of year when the ‘new year, new me’ motto comes back for about 3 weeks and then disappears until Jan 1 of next year. Personally, I don’t like to make new years resolutions for the simple fact that I don’t think my goals […]
