Sometimes you have to reinvent the wheel.
It shocked me to see that my daily, turned weekly, turned monthly, blog posting schedule is now officially “quarterly.”
It all brings to mind an inescapable fact of life…everything changes. Let’s examine the phases of this blog:
1. Testing the boundaries of the mobile office.
2. Collecting insights from industry [...]
It was a defining moment for a generation. We all remember where we were when the towers fell. We all had our worldview fundamentally shifted. Our priorities realigned.
When our family had the opportunity to visit the memorial of United Flight 93 two years ago, I was reminded that in tragedy we can also find hope.
Everyone [...]
For the record, from the moment I walked out the front door to the second my butt hit the seat on the ferry this morning a total of 18 minutes elapsed. Not bad. That is officially acceptable “walking distance.”
Today marks the first day of my new life as a ferry commuter, as I start [...]
This morning I logged onto the Vocus webinar about the future of PR/Marketing. Playing it in the background while doing some housekeeping work, a statement from Adam Singer (Lewis PR) grabbed my attention.
Passion is everything.
I think that hits the nail on the head much more than the standard statement that “content is king.”

Next week I start Statistics.
To say that I’m nervous would be an understatement. That said, I have been excited to see that to-date I’ve found the classes at WSU’s MBA program not only interesting from a theoretical perspective, but also immensely useful in real life.

Perhaps it’s telling of how my self-evaluation grades are going to say that I have not had time to come back to this blog for several weeks. And I haven’t evaluated my progress for more than a month.
Halfway through my second class in the MBA program at WSU, I’m thrilled to say that I [...]
Rebbecca is the kind of person you meet and immediately wish you had met years ago. She was one of those people who always exuded positivity. Her energy was contagious.
Rebbecca died today.
A month ago she was woken in the middle of the night, dragged out of bed and shot six times in her own home. [...]
Earlier this week I visited Rebecca at the rehabilitation center in Olympia. As we were talking, she said:
“I talk to God all day.”
And then she added, “God has been so good to me.”
On May 2, Rebecca was awakened in the middle of the night by the estranged father of her three children. She [...]
I won’t call week one a TOTAL failure. But I have a long way to go in terms of prioritizing my time management if I’m going to have any success keeping my sanity (or sense of identity) over the next 18 months.
For those who may have missed it, I started online classes last week [...]
Those who have known me for any length of time know that one of my favorite scenes from any film comes at the end of Say Anything. John Cusack’s character, Lloyd Dobler, leans over the armrest of his airplane seat to his “out of his league” girlfriend played by Ione Skye. She’s filled with apprehension, [...]
