Writing this from my office 33,000 feet up. This month’s travel schedule has been challenging at best. The hardest part of it all, other than leaving my family, is the sitting. All the sitting-endless hours of sitting. I am pretty sure my ass has gotten measurably flatter in the course of the past 30 days!… Continue reading Flight Time

Gray Days
It’s been raining for days. I need some sunshine to clear away the clouds in my mind which has been a murky mess since the first storm rolled in this week. The irony of it all. A mind of gray can be poison to creativity. It can turn the most colorful into drab; robbing the… Continue reading Gray Days
Nighttime Bedfellows
2:15 It is my witching hour. I don’t even have to look at the clock anymore. I know what time it is. Every night, night after night. The result of a heavy mind. Lately, words like “uncertainty” and “patience” have been part of my daily vocabulary- lots of change pending for me and for my… Continue reading Nighttime Bedfellows
Damn Cupid!
Last night was my husband and my Valentine’s Day. Usually we let this holiday go. With overpriced dinners and roses, there has never been a need to celebrate our love on a commercialized holiday. Love should promote spontaneity and not be contained in one arbitrary day, right? Well, with my insanely busy work travel schedule… Continue reading Damn Cupid!
Road Warriors
You live among them. Some live in your neighborhood. Some might be friends. Some you come across at the market when they are in town and some you do business with. In normal life, we act just like you. We raise our kids in the suburbs. We try our best to be present at softball… Continue reading Road Warriors
One Decision Away
For me, change is exhilarating. It’s my fuel. My drug of choice. When I was younger, getting my fix was simple. Change jobs, change gyms, change apartments, change boyfriends. I wouldn’t say I was flighty or flaky. I just liked what change gave me- a fresh perspective, an alternative view, all senses working on overload,… Continue reading One Decision Away

A Room with a View
The view you see when traveling north from LA to the Northwest never loses its magic for me. The Ring of Fire which holds the Cascade mountains in its arms possesses some of the most majestic peaks in the World. While I wish I could come up with a word more unique, majestic is the… Continue reading A Room with a View
Blinded by the Light
“It’s rack up like a deuce!” “I always thought it was rack up like a douche!” “No he is talking about playing pool.” “I don’t know what he is talking about but I’ve always loved the song.” Laughter, laughter laughter… This was a part of our lunch conversation yesterday- an impromptu meet up with… Continue reading Blinded by the Light
Tough Day at the Office
One of the perks of my job is visiting beautiful resort properties in stunning locations. When you are in sales, you got to hold onto the fluffy stuff or else the hard knocks will kick you down! Yesterday, we called on the spas within some of the World’s most beautiful resorts in Santa Barbara. Santa… Continue reading Tough Day at the Office
