I have been fortunate to travel extensively over the course of my 39 years on this planet. My travel started at an early age thanks to my bad-ass wanderlusty parents and has steadily continued; ranging from day trips to mid-state New York to hiking in the Swiss Alps.  I haven’t often traveled with friends and… Continue reading A Trip Down Hazard Lane.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone does ________ and you feel special and then you realize the ___________ has been shared with others and suddenly you don’t feel so special anymore? I was thinking personally when I crafted that statement, but the same can apply professionally. For example, let’s say you are… Continue reading You ARE Special. Period. End of Story.

A friend of mine recently came back from a two week vacation. When I asked her how it was she immediately responded as follows: “I think I gained 20 pounds”. I instantly felt dismayed because this is the same self-deprecating and depressing phrase that has been uttered by many a friend, co-worker, acquaintance, and family… Continue reading Body of Truth

I think I’ve articulated this before but my musical interests and tastes are fairly eclectic. I’ve learned that people don’t like this fact because they take it as wishy-washy, non-committal, etc. Where I am concerned it is just my truth. Different music speaks to me at different times. The music I enjoy during a run… Continue reading The Most Profound Trust Exercise.

Sometimes this is something that occurs inadvertently and almost unknowingly for the same reason. For me this fact is simultaneously brilliant and terrifying. There is something magical about our minds that enables us to… Continue reading The Edit

I feel as if I’ve been brutally honest on this blog. I’ve spilled my guts and given any reader a real and true appraisal of my feelings, good and bad. There are certain topics or events in my life that I’ve shied away from. Not in violation of the spirit of authenticity I’ve wanted to… Continue reading Goodbye Burt.

I recently took my first manual transmission driving lesson. I was a bit scared but mostly excited. The first part of my lesson was the instructor walking me through the basics, including what common mistakes are made by folks newly acquiring this somewhat outdated skill. He explained that people often forget how to drive. It… Continue reading Driving Lessons

“S/he doesn’t owe me/you anything.” Does that expression sound familiar to you? I don’t mean to ask if you’ve heard it once in your life or if you can phonetically string together the letters and words to extrapolate the meaning. I am referring to a pervasive sentiment, one that you might hear [or utter] often. … Continue reading Expect More…or Less…

I don’t know if I should be embarrassed to quote yet another book or concerned that I am becoming predictable, but neither emotion is particularly compelling if I’m honest. What is embarrassing is that I posted out of order. Yup. That's right. I guess I am just blessed/plagued by an endless supply of thoughts that… Continue reading What in the actual f….?!
