Is the Selfie Healthy?

Call me an armchair psychologist (or bitter old cow). Take your pick, but I’ve always had a suspicion that women of a certain age hmm hmm…who feel the need for constant Selfies need to spend more time in front of a shrink than in front of the camera…the rationale that most are not playing with

Death of a “Saleswoman”

I remember one of my first observations when I arrived in the US, twenty years ago, was that everyone I met had an Accountant or a Financial Planner. Perplexed by the need to have either; I came from a country where the government automatically taxed you (unless self-employed), we had Socialized Healthcare and the primary

Married At First Sight

Ladies, c’mon fess up… am I the only one, whose guilty pleasure is “Married at First Fight Sight”? I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve never been married. Don’t have enough drama in my life. Or need to get a life (or all three) that I look forward to my weekly fix of “CRAY CRAY”

Fed up hearing about the Modern-Day-Cinderella, a woman who instagrams her way to fame and fortune one photo-shopped bikini SELFIE at a time…or tweets her way to infamy, the only heavy lifting required…her fake booté? #METOO. You’ve also heard of the “Wussification of America” right? The name given to the demise of the Strong American

Ghosting, Benching or Caspering?

In the spirit of building my platform… I think it’s only fair to share a little bit more of me with you…and I’m not talking about getting “the girls” out…or any other parts of my anatomy…sorry fellas! I’m talking about sharing stories that are in line with my book…inspirational, uplifting or just downright bloody funny!

Straight Outta Corporate America

Well the cat is out of the bag! I’m officially out of Corporate America…Woo Hoo!! I actually resigned over a month ago but I wanted to take some time to deliberate my next steps before making my final decision. While the lure of a steady paycheck is a powerful thing…I had to ask myself a
