What does it mean to Dream?

I just finished The Dream Manager, a book about life dreams (not the sleeping kind) and how one company helped its team members achieve their goals. I strongly encourage you to read it; it’s a captivating 100-some pages. The story focuses on how one janitorial services company drastically improved their business simply by focusing onContinue reading “What does it mean to Dream?”

The relationship between cars and humans

When I turned 15 and nine months, I sprinted to the nearest MVA to get my permit. Permit in hand, I walked out of there feeling very mature and proud of myself. I seized any opportunity I had to practice driving with my parents in the car. Whether that was on the way to school,Continue reading “The relationship between cars and humans”

Who you gonna call…

Ghostbusters! Many of you may have heard of escape rooms. This themed adventure game is a great team builder. Put seven people in a ‘locked’ room (the door is unlocked and participants can walk out of the room if needed), give them a bunch of clues, and have them problem-solve their way out of theContinue reading “Who you gonna call…”

All in the Name of Science

I agreed to give my body to science for three months to see how a plant-based diet impacts the body’s metabolism. Thankfully, there was a huge support group: the other participants in the study, the research team, and many family and friends. I knew I had people to lean on when I was struggling toContinue reading “All in the Name of Science”

Are we subconsciously stereotyping our film suggestions?

I’m recovering from a week of the flu (take your vitamins and get your flu shot, kids) which left me with a lot of time to think about just about everything. When I wasn’t sleeping, I was either looking for something to watch or was watching a show. As mentioned before, I’m on a year-longContinue reading “Are we subconsciously stereotyping our film suggestions?”

Life and Death

Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Death. Some day – maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, maybe in 40 years or 80 years – our physical body will die. We don’t know when or how it will happen but it will happen. I’m in theContinue reading “Life and Death”

I Could Never Be A Vegan…

…until I became a vegan. Washington, D.C. has always been home to me. Even though I spent four years in Towson, Md. and five years in Frederick, Md, I spent my childhood and pre-teen years in Northwest D.C. When I moved back to this city three and a half years ago, I was looking forwardContinue reading “I Could Never Be A Vegan…”

The Year of the Alphabet

As I mentioned in my lil blurb, this year I’m trying lots of new things. I’m calling the Year of the Alphabet. One of my dear friends calls it my alphabet soup shit – take your pick. It all started on a warm mid-summer afternoon. One of my best friends, Olivia, and I went toContinue reading “The Year of the Alphabet”

Keep Those Childhood Dreams Alive

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” You’ve been asked that question before. Maybe when you were 5, or 15, or 25. Sometimes the answer changes over the course of a decade or two. When I was 5 (okay, more like 7 or 8) I wanted to be an interior designer orContinue reading “Keep Those Childhood Dreams Alive”

Jump. And Jump Again.

I told a few friends that I decided to start writing and was met with a lot of “I’m not surprised” or “That’s so cool!” Truth be told, writing doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m much rather take a picture or speak out whatever I am trying to describe. Well, if you don’t enjoy writing,Continue reading “Jump. And Jump Again.”
