This past weekend was emotionally charged for a large portion of America and the world. There is no doubt that our nation is in a transition period and we have a choice in how we react. This reminds me of the endless decisions that have to be made by a business owner on a regular […]
In a previous post I wrote about adapting to change and surviving it. This morning I stumbled upon an article in Inc. that talked about the questions you should ask yourself prior to making a difficult decision. Give the article a read here. Everyday we are faced with decisions, big or small and the course […]
This past week, Jimmy Lab, 834’s chief happiness officer decided to wander off and leave his humans completely panicked. Thanks to the power of social media, he was returned safe and sound several hours later. When we first noticed he was missing, we set out on foot through our neighborhood to search for him. If […]
Cruising is pretty cool, I learned a lot. For example, you can get sick of sitting by a pool 7 days in a row for hours at a time sipping a Pina Colada. Besides that, I contemplated the following 4 items, a continuation of the 3 from Tuesday. Sometimes you need to be bored. As […]
As I got ready to attend my 3rd or 4th event this week, I thought – what the hell keeps me motivated to attend all of these business events? Wine. At the end of a long work day, one of the last things you want to do is go be cordial, charming and attentive at […]

I love reading. It is my favorite thing to do, besides work. I love delving into historical nonfiction by authors such as Stephen Ambrose, Erik Larson and Nathaniel Philbrick. Reading books on WWI, WWII, Vietnam, The Cold War, etc. have given me a true appreciation on how far our country has come and the sacrifices made […]
This past week I moved an entire house, 4 dogs and a husband. I came to several realizations while packing, unpacking and drinking multiple bottles of wine. Life is short. Like everything else in my life, I set completely unrealistic expectations and then drive myself and everyone else around me crazy trying to meet them. […]
Dear Graduate, What an exciting time for you! This past weekend you graduated, celebrated with friends and family and toasted the accomplishment of receiving a degree. After a 4.5 hour ceremony you walked across that stage, shook the hands of lots of people wearing robes and weird hats and took your diploma and entered into […]
This past weekend, I felt immense guilt for sitting around and chillaxing (as I like to call it), which may or may not have involved watching Hallmark movies…but probably not. I realize that as business owners or busy professionals we feel like we always have to go, go, go. What my epiphany was this weekend, after […]
