y friends and I went to see a new movie #interstellar on Sunday. It was their second time and first for me. I’ve enjoyed the experience but had a difficult time talking about it afterwards; I felt a bit dumb and my vocabulary shrunk to a primitive list of phrases like: “aha”, “yea”, “yup”, “that was good”. I suppose I […]
would like to start this snowy Monday with a reference to a thought that I had a little while back. “Big moments are important but at times I find it more interesting to look around. It’s wonderful to watch the first dance of a newly married bride and groom but if you carefully look through the crowd […]
ravelling is our way of life. We spend hours on buses, trains, air planes and cars. We sleep, read books, talk on our phones, write emails, and shake our fists at our fellow drivers. We are a generation on the move. I am not an exception. Once in a while I pack up my belongings, load […]
t’s very fitting that I find myself reading a new book #WhatAliceForgot by Liane Moriarty. The novel tells a story of a woman who forgets ten years of her life. It’s fitting because two years ago I was a different person; if found in a similar situation I would not recognize the person that I am today. A lot […]
rowing up and personal growth: these concepts have echoed throughout my life; they still do; many have contributed: my parents, managers, friends and loved ones have all had the opportunity to influence and see me change. Staying true to who you are, belonging and sharing is not an easy task. The act of opening up […]
hat my friends and I call the holy grail of flash photography is actually known as High Speed Synch [HSS]. It’s a technique used to take pictures under very fast shutter speed. I won’t bother you with the technical details; there are plenty of great tutorials on-line that will explain all the innuendos. I’ll just say […]
hile going through the works of @BreneBrown I was introduced to the idea that empathizing with another person is not the default reaction that most of us have. This topic is particularly important to me because I’ve been struggling with the definition, understanding and application of empathy in my daily life. At one point or […]
his is my second post that involves a particularly unusual dilemma. I am not yet concerned and I hope that this blog won’t become a chronological reference guide of what to do in questionable situations. Last week I returned from a 7 day vacation at the beautiful Turks and Caicos. It was the best of times. […]
esterday I faced a dilemma. I have a project. The project involves the improvement of my dancing vocabulary [hip hop/salsa/etc….]. Now the problem in question is related to my ability to produce frictionless movements with my feet. My limited wardrobe of shoes mostly consists of runners and dress shoes for work. Isolating runners in particular: although […]
spend a considerable amount of time putting my thoughts down on paper but the majority of what I write never reaches the open public. I write to friends. We exchange emails and do so often. Although I find writing to be comforting I’ve struggled with the idea of getting my thoughts across in to the […]
