Love IS a choice
Till death do us part… We all know where that statement comes from. It’s one of the most universally known quotes that practically almost never requires additional context. But in as much as people have memorized those five short, yet insurmountably loaded collection of words by heart, how much do people nowadays really mean it from the heart when they decide to exchange vows and...

Aloneness ≠ Loneliness
“So, are you dating anyone?” That seems to be the one question that people ask me fairly consistently — and it usually happens in the first 20 minutes of conversations. I can’t quite tell if it’s merely a common way to initiate small talk, or if they are genuinely curious to know or perhaps, a subtle nudge to remind me about where exactly a woman my age should be. Come to think of...

You've Got Mail!
Somehow this evening, I found myself in my old Yahoo email — prehistoric, yes I know. I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for, or how I even got there — as a matter of fact, I don’t think I even had a specific agenda. I clicked on my inbox and I was seriously disgusted at how much spam it has collected over the years. I mean by the dozens of thousands. My initial...

Butterflies
This will be a quick one but I felt compelled to blog about an experience I had this morning. A feeling I haven’t encountered in a very very long time.. I felt butterflies. Today was any normal work day. I had just come out of a productive meeting and began to make my way back to my building located across the street. Not only was I late for my next meeting, but we were [finally]...
To do...or not to do.
I’ll do it tomorrow.
It’s early, I have time.
Ten more minutes!
Oh what’s another $200 for this [insert item you insist you need but actually already own multiple variations of].
I’ll start eating better in the new year.
What’s another bite?
Ok, one more glass. But that’s it!
I was driving home today from work and had a single goal for the evening — work out. That’s...

2011
2011. I know…blogging about learnings from 2011 is so ugh…last year. But in my attempt to break the silence of my blog (I’ve been experiencing a major case of writers block) I’m going to share a few lessons I learned…then I’m off to bed. Tell the truth. Earlier this year, I had a male friend whom I was spending a lot of time with. Women never want to assume (Yes guys, you...

Random Rant.
I had just spent the last two hours working on a post on the topic of betrayal. I was seconds away from clicking on [create post] — as a matter of fact, filling in my tags as a last step — when I hit the delete button and it somehow caused the page to go back.
Poof. Gone.
I’ll take that as a clear sign that the details of the post were not meant to be shared publicly.
But...

Stepping Outside of My Bubble
I lost my phone this weekend.
It’s probably the one thing I own that is consistently in my hand — whether I’m walking, eating, talking, driving…and yes, even sleeping (it has earned a permanent place on my bed). Losing it has been a royal pain in the butt. I feel so disconnected. Out of touch with the world. Inconvenienced. I mean what is a girl to do now to make that...

Why do We Torture Ourselves?
I was spending some much deserved quality time with a BFF last night who is going through a tough season in her life — she’s been hit with a bad case of a heartache from a recent break up. We were on our way to paint the town red and suddenly, she taps me on my shoulder from the back seat and shows me her phone. There it was — a photo of the douche-bag she’s been crying...

My 2011 Gadget Wish List
With Christmas just around the corner (not to mention, my birthday!), I thought I’d put together a list of cool tech (and non-tech) gadgets that will surely help unleash the inner geek in anyone.
Now on to my list.
iPod nano iWatchz Q Series watchband - black. It’s been in the market for some time now but this little tech gizmo has my name all over it — it’s geeky,...
A promise.
To myself, that is. I will blog more.
I never thought in a million light years I’d say this — but I think I actually like to write. More surprisingly (to me anyway), I think I can write.
Don’t ask me why but it’s a notion that I’ve rejected all of my life. The irony is, my entire career is dependent on it. If I’m not reading or speaking, I’m typing...

Princess vs. Queen
I was just chatting with a mentor that I deeply respect, adore and look up to. She keeps things real and never holds back when I need someone to “set me in my place.” She also tells me how fabulous I am when I need a little bit of a pick-me-up.
I was just letting her know that I think I’ve graduated from being a princess to a queen. She approved and distilled the difference...

This is not a game. Dig deeper.
“This is not a game, people. This is not a game. I want you to dig deeper.”
-ShaunT, Insanity Fitness Trainer
As I dug deeper during my work out this evening, I couldn’t help but focus my thoughts on those words. ShaunT meant it in a physical sense, but my mind went into a different direction. This is not a game. Dig deeper.
As I struggled to get through my sets of power...

I was had. But now I have.
I was once had. Understanding and peace now rests in me.
