For this weeks’ #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I wanted to share this post I did on pay equality. With the conversation still going on four years after I originally wrote this it was interesting and sad for me to see things that have not changed. But as we continue to discuss these many unequal threads I’m […]
Owning Up
In another post, I talked about an attribute of visionaries: being truth tellers. They stand up for what’s right, regardless of the consequences, speaking the brutal truth when it needs to be said, and acting on that truth in their everyday lives. But being a visionary does not mean being perfect. Sometimes telling the truth […]
The Mayan Prophecy #TBT
For this weeks #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I’m sharing a post that I wrote at the end of 2012. There was a lot of conversation around fear and the end of the world. With the social climate going on from US elections, to terrorist threats, to the global economy the same conversations are coming up again. […]

Guest Post: How to Know if a Parent Needs Assisted Care
No one wants to move to a nursing home or put an aging parent in one. Yet, families may not have a choice when Dad loses a lot of weight because he lives alone and doesn’t eat well, or when he becomes depressed and forgetful. The nursing home may be the only place to care […]
No End Date
Think of this date as a first step. Dating is a process and it takes time. Sure, you’d like to find instant chemistry, mutual attraction, and common interests. That’s the ideal. But there are many other possible outcomes. If you approach the situation with curiosity rather than rigid expectations, you’ll be less likely to be […]
Creativity from Chaos
Chaos is a friend of mine. —Bob Dylan Our world is in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, as discontinuous change tosses even the strongest of us on its waves. Destruction hits us from all fronts, from natural disasters to economic ones. Spending time and energy to think creatively right now may seem crazy, even […]
