I found this article over the weekend and wanted to share it because I feel it’s a helpful reminder to look at how words really matter. Just as simple as whether your glass is half empty or half full, it’s how you look at it. I am confident that we all want to have the best conversations and outcomes with ourselves and our customers every day. Sometimes, it’s tough.  Whether it’s disagreeing on solutions to problems or working with people who have problems they expect us to solve, how we frame it up and serve it back can have more…

I decided to dig out the mixed media art mindset I used to have. At times when there were no words, I would make art speak for me. Been a loooooong time as words tend to come easy for me. Yet the hours spent in searching, cutting, gluing and mixing textures and pictures to articulate reality is actually rather relaxing. I recommend everyone explores ways to express their original feelings derived from their own opinions in ways that release you from reality. Only if for a little while. I call this piece, Living Beneath the Gates. For me it displays…

The silence keeps growing. More and more silence.  We talk to less people.  We share less and less original thoughts.  We fear what may happen to our job, friends, family, marriage, children … if we say what we think. And feel.  We walk on egg shells without crushing any more. Tread silently. Not realizing what all this silence means.  What staying silent will mean. They have taken our voice.  We have let them in a chance of finding a better version of ourselves. We are now Ariel in a new dry world.  How will we find the happy ending? How will…

I started thinking about all the ways the media is trying to make each other hate each other while losing sight of the values that bind us together. It’s down right head scratching maddening. And then I realized I bet everyone – no matter what ‘sides’ you decided to sign up for – I think you’d agree and question how we got here. It wasn’t like this and we all know it. We all just want freedom and the American dream we painted on our definition canvas of #Winning. So there’s the first thing we can agree on. If we…

Thank you, Pitbull. I can’t believe it took nearly five months to stumble upon this truth he spoke openly last fall. His wisdom on the double standards and how many CEO’s ‘buy low and sell high’ validates my thought of why more influencers like Pitbull need to speak out, regardless of the short-term ramifications NOW. Perhaps he believes it’s time to buy low and bet on more than 75 million of of who will support him for standing tall. We know at least 75 million adults were counted who voted for the Americans First movement versus selling us out overseas….

If you use Alexa to do what she recommends you to do- remind you to water your plants and other mundane yet memorable tasks, you scare me. It’s more than convenience at stake. We seriously are becoming more and more away from thinking for ourselves for simple conveniences that we done lost our minds and can’t think. For ourselves. C’mon. We’re closer to Wall-E than we realize. Remember to water your plants on your own. Unless your a senior or impaired like Drew Barrymore on fifty first dates.  Who, by the way, is who my grandson always says reminds him of…
