Hello Dear Readers, Happy New Year! I hope 2013 is treating you well so far. 2012 was a year of tremendous change for me, at least when it came to my career. I left my job as communications and public relations manager at a museum–a job that I dearly loved but...

It’s become somewhat of a tradition for me to re-post this blog on every August 19th. I have been asked why I do not let my friend “go”, as if remembering her and continuing to celebrate her life and love her is keeping me from leading a full life...

I feel funny about writing this so soon after many posts about being grateful and optimistic, but the truth is, sometimes I get really down. I think the word “depression” is overused, so I won’t refer to it to describe this feeling, as there is a big...
