Wanted: Creative Silence
I don’t think we slow down enough to ponder anymore. Life has become this rushed, fast forward vessel in which we take on more than we can chew and simply don’t “think” anymore. And by think I mean the process of being innovative and generating ideas or thoughts. When was the … [Read more...]
Do You Really Give A Damn?
Well, do you? And if you don’t does that make you a bad person? I spend a lot of time in the social media world where “caring” and “helping” is the “BIG THING”, but what I sense is that much of the caring and helping is not genuine. I’m not trying to knock anyone, it’s just an … [Read more...]

Klout in the Cracker Jack Box
I completely understand why so many want to know what they are worth online…to some extent I think we all want to know. It’s no different in real life, you want to know you are valuable in order to be validated; although some people just want to know they are “worth” more than … [Read more...]
When WE is Better Than ONE
