A new trend to consider
Since the written word, humanity has sought to spread our ideas as far as possible. We ran messages to other villages, attached notes to birds, and finally figured out how to transmit ideas via wires and almost seemingly through the air. We will always yearn to communicate with one another, and with that we will…

Use every tool
I told her what I was dealing with. It was a complaint about a job and how I was doing there. But instead of commiserating, she made a suggestion. Something just didn’t seem right. Maybe it was time I talked to someone. It was the kind of suggestion that initially might have made me feel…

That little dog
When Paris Hilton hit the scene, it was with her iconic spoiled chihuahua. Oh to be that pampered dog, living a life of luxury of being fully provided for without having to lift a finger, or rather a paw at all. It is as enviable a life, if not moreso, as its ultra-rich owners’. Truthfully,…

Repeating myself
I was consistently frustrated. I complained to anyone who would listen just how often I had to repeat myself to that woman. Meeting after meeting, I had to same the thing multiple times before it got through. What seemed obvious to me need explaining for reasons I couldn’t understand. Then, just to prove myself and…

Oh, the big city
I travel to New York multiple times a year. Sometimes it’s for work, but mostly for fun. There is so much there I want to do and discover. I have a growing list of restaurants and coffee shops. And let’s not forget the museums, fashion weeks, pop-ups, conferences, and so much more that I want…

Short and sweet
I have a goal to write everyday. Ideally, every post would be well focused on a topic, building on a clear plan for content that unfolds over the week and month. Unfortunately, that just isn’t how things work all the time. Especially today. But in times like this, I take solace in the work of…

What Zlatan knows
Just like so many around the world, I am thoroughly engaged with this year’s World Cup. Watching all of the games has led me to watch more of the analysts’ coverage of the games as well. That has exposed me to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. I knew of him as a player, but now we are all…

How do you brand a country?
Watching World Cup coverage introduced me to two new to me countries: Czechia and Türkiye. To be truthful, they were not new. It was just a rebrand. The country I previously referred to as the Czech Republic is using a shorter, but still official name. The unflattering Turkey was dropped to better align with the…

The three languages I need to learn to grow in fashion
I could understand slightly, but I didn’t have the words to reply. I instantly regretted not taking my French classes more seriously. Else, I ‘d be able to make that sale. Or go for that job. But alas, here I am, a shameful monolingual English speaker. But with the world we’re living in, that needs…

The gesture
I came home to a box, an unexpected package. Fragile, it read. “Dearest member…” It was a box of chocolates from a beauty brand I shop with, a gesture of appreciation for the season. I could have easily ordered my own box of chocolates. I certainly could have diverted what I spent on their products to…
