When I signed up to post to my blog every day in May, I was inspired by the theme that was simply “play.” I thought that could have so many possibilities, so many twists and turns. The writing prompts have been pretty one-dimensional solely focusing on playing games. I’ve never...

Once I got a job because I said being a marketing director for a symphony orchestra was like being in the movie “Groundhog Day.” I explained, every season you have the same number of concerts to promote and it’s your job to do it better, take a fresh approach, and redeem yourself, even though...

I’m not one to put a lot of stock in omens, but every once in awhile you have experiences that make you wonder if they are significant, especially if they come in threes. (I’m not superstitious either.) In the past four days, I’ve had three experiences that some cultures would say are...

Recently I wrote about the game of Monopoly and the role it has played in mother/daughter road trips and the ability for a capitalistic game to teach life’s lessons. It made me think about those lessons and the choices we make when playing a game and when living our life. For Monopoly,...

When I was growing up, almost every house in Baby Boom suburbia, had some sort of basketball hoop mounted above the garage making the driveway the perfect place to be in the “key” for a game of HORSE, to practice free throw shots, or to see if you could hear the swoosh of the net. As an adult...

There are too many people out there that define what happiness looks like by adopting a set of rigid rules and setting clear guidelines. Don’t get me wrong, we need laws, policies and a good sense of right and wrong in order to guard against chaos and anarchy. It equates to taking your...
