Finding a Revelation in the Uncomfortable

July 27, 2010

Most of us like to avoid uncomfortable situations. You watch what you say, think about what you do, and consider the possible judgements of others. If a situation made your palms sweat, you probably tip toe as much as possible to never repeat the experience. Unfortunately, by avoiding those situations, you never know what you’re […]

ForbesWoman Post: The Gen Y Businesswoman’s Symbol? Shoes

July 15, 2010

Hey everyone, so I wanted to share that I’m posting over at the ForbesWoman blog: Work in Progress. Today is my first post, so here’s a little teaser: We operate in a world of symbols. If you have the American flag plastered on your jersey, you might be supporting Team USA. If you’re sporting a […]

Quality vs. Quantity…or a Little of Both?

July 13, 2010

In Minnesota, there are two seasons: Winter and Construction. Needless to say, if it’s above freezing, there’s road construction all over the place. When I first arrived from Virginia, I kept calling home to my mom saying, “You won’t believe how fast these people move!” Yes, I was in awe of how quickly the road […]

Missing the Point

July 6, 2010

There are some people who like to argue for the sake of arguing. I’m not one of those people. I’ll share an opinion, and yes, if there are counter opinions, I will listen. But a full blown argument with heated voices? I really don’t like it. It’s why I never took a religion course in […]

Play Like a Human

July 1, 2010

As a ballerina, I’ve dealt with bleeding toes, messed up knees, and a dislocated ankle. For four years of varsity crew, my bands were ripped up and callused from the oars. In soccer I shoved and got shoved, slamming into hard-packed dirt on fields without enough funding to be fully covered with grass. Female athletes […]

Shove the Tool in the Toolbox

June 29, 2010

There are times in our lives when you see someone or something they did, and your inner monologue responds with: “Jackass.” Should you accidentally blurt it out, you might catch a couple turned heads, but they’re probably just happy you said it first. Unfortunately in the warm-fuzziness of political correctness, we can’t call a spade […]

Figuring Out the Script

May 25, 2010

Being out of practice has changed my own comfort level. When I step up, the adrenalin rushes through me so quickly, my body is shaking violently. I can’t channel her as easily anymore, and I don’t know if she’ll show up this time. What if it’s just me? For years I was a pretty committed […]

My Business Soul Mate: Rework

May 17, 2010

Sorry potential future business partner, my heart’s already taken. Like they say, it happens when you’re not looking. A sporadic visit to a bookstore, and there it is: Rework. Immediately, I am taken aback by the cover: simple, sleek, and in my color scheme. Looks like a good match so far. I don’t pick it […]

Do You Have What You Really Need for the Long Haul?

April 22, 2010

“We don’t have what we need anymore because of changes made years ago. For example, an auto insurance company now has to relocate auto mechanics to various states because many of those states have taken away vocational/technical education programs. The insurance company is now responsible for providing members with certified service locations, except those locations […]
