Life is like this: combinations of synchronicities, threads in the tapestry, alignments too random to be random. This just happened: I was on Facebook, adjusting some settings and saw a photo of my sister and I, taken in 2001--twenty years ago--in which we're standing next to two camels, the Giza pyramids behind us. Seconds after seeing this…

I grew up with parents who, in the ‘70s, were fairly healthy and health-oriented. My parents did international folk dancing for their exercise and socializing; my mom gardened, composted and made every meal at home (when I say “every” meal, I mean that literally, save the one or two times per year we got treated…

As one who has been more at the edge of what's coming in trends, business shifts, cultural change and whatnot, I have come to understand that the WHEN you do something is often just as important -- or at least relevant -- as WHAT you did. For me, and particular to this little story, is the…

I pulled together 25 words for each generational archetype at each phase of life and made a video for each. These 25 words per are by no means absolute and the only descriptives, though they do provide a good and generalized summary of each archetype.

They live

Talk about random. Earlier today, for whatever reason, I had been thinking about the American City Girls, a local network building, party-focused, notecard-espousing, social technology amplifying adventure I did years back with the lovely Cherie Beck. Because I've been on a mostly private, life-long mission to destroy my art and writing -- to erase it from…

Xers, the ultimate WFH-ers

GenerationsMarch 8, 2021570Views 0Likes 0Comments

GenXers (born 1961-1981) widely consider work flexibility a key component in how they manage their lives. Xers have a bottom-line accountability that includes minimizing input (hours worked, time committed to job related activities such as travel, dressing for the office, etc.) and maximizing output (results for the company, pay and compensation for them). Now the…

We all get our small pleasures in life: the little things we enjoy simply because we enjoy them. For me, one of them is watching the birds outside my large sliding glass doors that open up to a nice vista and Lake Elkhorn beyond. I don’t know much about birds and sometimes wonder if I’d like…

It was a moment in time. The meme world was on fire. I took advantage of it. And a friend, of their own initiation, did a nice job photoshopping me into the perfect background.

I have a most-beautiful view from where I live. I look out over Lake Elkhorn in Columbia, Maryland. (Well, I see the lake more fully when trees have lost their summer green, as they have long since now.) I like to take full advantage of my view and spend a lot of my daylight, in-the-house hours looking…

For organizations, large and small Does your business have projects done routinely but the steps aren’t sufficiently documented? Is employee turnover slowing you down and causing lost knowledge on project tasks? Would you be more profitable if your business had more concrete, documented processes for your team to follow (and fewer missed steps and mistakes to correct)? Are…
