Beguiling Bibliophile

I am a self professed bibliophile, which is a fancy way to say that I love to read. I can't remember a time when I didn't know how. My childhood was marked by adventures to various bookstores (new and used) on a fairly regular basis. It is also something I look for as soon as … Continue reading Beguiling Bibliophile →

Be my Neighbor?

I recently watched "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" the documentary about Mr. Roger's life and the story behind the beloved children's TV show. It was inspiring to see someone who used his influence to try and improve children's lives on a daily basis.

When I am around people I feel obligated to play host, to entertain and to generally include everyone in conversation (I … Continue reading Be social, don’t be a clam →

Balance, Evolve, Love

This past week was filled with reminders that as Ferris Bueller famously states, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it." We only have a short time on this Earth and only one life in which to live. I think some of us forget … Continue reading Balance, Evolve, Love →

Be Bold, Host a Happy Hour

I have lived in 5 different cities in the past 5 years (yes that's excessive I know, but I enjoy it). The best way I have found to get to know people and to bring people together is to plan a happy hour. "But I don't drink!" You may say. My response, "You don't need … Continue reading Be Bold, Host a Happy Hour →
