  • Don’t build it yet. Do this first.

    There’s a particular pleasure in the early stage of an idea. The designing. The mapping. The hours you spend arranging things in your head until they feel ready to exist in the world. I know that pleasure well. A little too well, as it turns out. Because here’s what I eventually had to admit to…

  • A Brief History of Work Through the Ages

    Let me ask you something: when was the last time you questioned why you work the way you do? Not whether to work. We all know we have to eat. But the form your work takes. The career path you chose, or perhaps the one that chose you. Have you ever stopped to wonder whether…

  • Why I Love Nature

    Why I Love Nature

    Yes, I’m a Nature lover. Not as knowledgeable about it as I should be. I can’t identify much of the flora or fauna. I’m working on it. BUT, I am so touched by it. It’s a constant source of inspiration. Here’s my ode to Nature. Do you agree? Reflect , Redefine, Rise! R
