Random rantings of the misfit kind.
Every single year, around December 31st (give or take a few days), many of us begin to think about what we've accomplished that year, and what we want to do the following year. Some people set resolutions (I've written a post about that in the past), others abhor the thought of resolutions and "resolve" to... Continue Reading →
If someone told you, right now, to write a bio about yourself, what would you say? Would you list out your accomplishments? The jobs you've held? The places you've been? Or would you talk about where you grew up, the colleges you went to, and the degrees you've earned? You probably wouldn't talk about the... Continue Reading →
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 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...

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 →
Today, I've taken the time to reflect on what has occurred in my life over the past 365 days (and I urge you all to take a few moments between the partying to do the same). This past year has put me through many tests, of my resiliency, my loyalty, and my heart. I've learned... Continue Reading →
I am heartbroken over the passing of Paul Walker. Did I know him? No, not personally, of course. But many of us get to "know" celebrities by the moments we share with them in movies, from photos, from their work in the community. Many of us begin to think of these celebrities as our friends...

It's so easy to a bitter, sour person when things don't go your way. Maybe you didn't get that promotion you wanted, or they left you out of the equation yet again. Maybe your archenemy just drove by in the car you wanted, or purchased the house you thought you'd be able to buy. Unfortunately, bitterness won't improve... Continue Reading →
Have you ever found yourself spending so much time and energy focused on how other people feel, checking in on them, never realizing that you've forgotten to figure out how YOU feel, forgotten to check in with you? It's so easy to get caught up in being who others want you to be, and you... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, I posted a couple of great posts about rainbows and unicorns and buckets of glitter. Well, not exactly, but it was damn near close. In my last post, I talked about maintaining this aura of positivity, you know, changing my outlook on life and whatnot. I discussed not taking things so... Continue Reading →
