  • PARIS To PITTSBURGH

    PARIS To PITTSBURGH

    I get a little leery when documentaries come out about things like climate change. Are they trustworthy? Is the film made with a huge agenda?  Does the film let emotion overtake science, or equally annoying to me – does the science overtake the reality of daily life? And when I saw that Bloomberg was creating…

  • What are you shooting for —

    How’s 2017? Do you have some goals that you are hoping to achieve in the future? I saw this quote today and had to rethink a few of my goals.  Am I aiming high enough? Is there something bigger and better I should be shooting for?  Am I settling for the good when I should be…

  • Every morning…permission to dream

    Every morning…permission to dream

    Since I was a young child, I have always loved mornings. Cup of coffee, chilly air, birds chirping, indirect light – I love it all. Two different times, I’ve been able to live above coffee shops. I would awake to the sound of people laughing or having conversations, which would cause me to jump out…

  • Prioritizing — and some Snow Patrol!

    Prioritizing — and some Snow Patrol!

    It’s been too long since I’ve been to the gym. A conference. A work trip. A sore foot. Life. Excuse. Excuse. Excuse. Excuse. What I’ve realized is, when I don’t go to the gym, I have a tendency to be terribly crabby to my husband!  Since we’re together about 90% of the time, he’s the…
