Random rantings of the misfit kind.
It is soooo absolutely easy to give out great advice. You listen to the other person so thoughtfully, you run the situation through in your head, you try to be objective and look at both sides of the story, and then you dole out equally thoughtful, objective guidance. You know what's even easier though? To... Continue Reading →
A week ago, I was honored to provide an inspirational post for an awesome event in CT, "The Phenomenal Women Panel". It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted on the site, but I wanted it share this one with you all. Enjoy! Earlier today, my third grader was telling her brother and me a story...

Something has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks. It's been weighing very heavily...so heavily that I haven't been able to shape my thoughts enough around the subject to begin writing. And it's not something super serious, but it's something super important. I get my inspiration for my posts in the most... Continue Reading →
Forgiveness. It's a word that's been on my mind for a couple of weeks now. I'd been contemplating whether or not I should write about it, and then Sunday morning, India Arie's cover of the song "Heart of the Matter" rolled through on Pandora, and then her song "Wings of Forgiveness" came on. So yeah, the question... Continue Reading →
Today I saw a quote that was attributed to the Dalai Lama on Facebook. It was his thoughts on what surprised him most about humanity, and he said, "Man.

What's your vision for 2015 and beyond? A friend of mine purchased a book for another friend, entitled, "One Word That Will Change Your Life", and, while I haven't read it (I plan to!), the idea is a novel one. What better way to keep yourself and your goals in sight than to give yourself... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, we find ourselves lost, confused...feeling out of place. We look in the mirror, and all we feel is disdain and displeasure with the image reflected back at us. We feel insecure, unloved, depressed - every negative emotion and feeling available. And some days, it's seemingly impossible. We'll never find true... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, we meet someone who seems to speak to our soul - perhaps even sing to it. And we try so hard to make that person fit into the vision of our future, ignoring the red flags, the doubts, the things we considered deal-breakers with others. For some reason, something in...

One of the hardest things in life, for most of us, is letting go. Whether it be a person, a habit, an item, a feeling - most times, we go through a great deal of stress when it comes to releasing it. Humans are, inherently, creatures of habit. We take comfort in familiarity, in repetition.... Continue Reading →
A good friend and I were having a very intense conversation late one night (much like the majority of our nightly convos), and this one was about careers and life goals. I was complaining about the lack of creativity in my corporate role, while he was proclaiming his anticipation of finally being able to do what... Continue Reading →
