Yesterday, I felt drained. All week had been go, go, go…run from one meeting to another—get some good insights in—then run on to the next meeting. I literally ran backwards in the hall when one of my co-worker friends said hello to me and I just kept on moving—places to go, people to see, and [...]
I just started a new chapter in my own life: I finished the bar exam at the end of February. For those of you without lawyers in your life, trust me when I say that it is one of the more grueling professional examinations out there (except for the accountants. I think they may have [...]
The year of 2012 is now over. But that’s not a bad thing for someone pretty obsessed with the future, like me. I’m always looking forward—to what is coming. What’s ahead. What will be. I. Cannot. Get. Enough! That’s probably a big reason why I love the New Year. For me, the holiday always marks [...]
As I thought about writing for SheTaxi’s year-end theme of gratitude, I first thought of it as a noun—something that is tangible, a position, and a thing to be pondered. But the more I thought about it, the second thought I had was that being grateful is really a verb. Specifically, the word took me [...]
Let me say that I’m not a past-dweller. I’m not high on context, history, or what has been “done in the past.” Frankly and in most cases, I don’t care. I’m too busy worrying about the present, while keeping one eye on the future so I can keep up and stay ahead of the game. [...]
When the fierce, feminine forces of SheTaxi told me the theme for the month was “acceptance,” I honestly have to say I was not pumped. In fact, I panicked a bit, and really struggled with what to write. Yikes! After my initial reaction, I looked up the term in the dictionary just to double check [...]
Living in the academic world, I always think of the start of fall a little early, and equate it with the students heading back to school, which of course happens a little earlier than the calendar definition of “fall.” Autumn in general evokes thoughts of cozy sweaters, cooler evenings, and harvests. The idea of harvest [...]
Summer vacation. Sun, the pool, fruity tall, cool beverages…sounds great! Everyone loves a good vacation! But what should you do if it is your work passion that goes on vacation instead? Uh. Oh. What should you do to get it back? I’ve had my personal work passion slip out the back door without me fully [...]
Note: This blog was originally published in October, 2011. Admitting that one is turning forty is kind of like telling someone you have an incurable disease; there is a bit of hope (of finding a cure/wisdom) and fear (that I’m getting old) all wrapped up in it. But as a friend of mine says, “It [...]
Greetings from Paris. I’m writing this post, my first for SheTaxi this year, from the City of Light, during my spring break. I desperately needed one, and so do you. Here’s why. Spring is one of the best times of year to stop, reflect, and ponder where you’ve been, and where you’re going—in terms of [...]
