  • Think About Your Social Legacy

    I’ve been really reflective the past month or so – thinking about life, my own place in the universe, how I relate to others, and the frailty of life in general. Not sure why all of the sudden – maybe because some change in my own life or seeing friends lose someone close to them.…

  • Is Chivalry Dead or Is It Just About Manners?

  • Renew, Refresh, Restart

    I am still on cloud nine thinking about my newest niece, Simone Leigh, who arrived in the world on Thursday January 2 -weighing in at 8lbs 4oz and 21 inches long. There is something about a new baby to renew your spirit.   I woke up this morning feeling great – I remembered to take…

  • Focus on The Process Not The Goal

    Second day of the new year – My kids head back to school for two days, life resumes the routine. I’ve been thinking about what I want to work on this year. I dont like to set goals per se – I’ve never been big on setting Resolutions. As I have found out, life throws…
