Forget Resolutions. The Secret to Freedom and Focus this Year.

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

It’s been a whirlwind of a year, to say the least. Looking back, I am so thankful for the journey and all I’ve learned. About relationships. About letting go. About starting something. About blogging. About networking. About creativity. About priorities. About myself. About life.
I’ll be honest. I’m a sentimental gal. I love milestones, the bittersweet [...]

Don’t Let Guilt or Fear Steal Your Thanks Today

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

After the blessing was said and we sat down to our festive holiday meal on Thursday, my grandmother asked us all to share something we are thankful for, but this year, there was a caveat: something we’re thankful for that we don’t normally think about in terms of gratitude.
As we went around the table, the [...]

Dare You to Stop.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Every day, every moment, it surrounds us. Online, in person, on our phones; groups, events, opportunities; shows, movies, magazines, literature. We live in a truly saturated world. There’s more for us to do than we could ever think to fill our lives with.

The Power of Curious Blogging

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

It’s not coming up with enough ideas, or trying to find [...]

The Secret to Less Stress, More Productivity: Life Lessons from Planning a Wedding

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Days away from the wedding now, and I’m at the point where I need about two minutes of productivity for every minute I have. Work, life, and dealing with all the last minute things is more than enough to keep me going nonstop, about 20 hours a day. 18 if I’m lucky.
So when people come [...]

Personal PR & Identity Confessions of a Bride-to-Be

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Lately, I’ve been feeling like a lot of all the customs involved with “getting married” in America are nothing short of a big, pointless, hassle, consumerism at its most effective, emotionally-clad best. Internationally or unintentionally set in the way of well-intentioned brides to keep us from thinking deeply about the larger issues women face when [...]
