I Need Your Help (No, Don’t Send Money)
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in the past year and a half is that it’s OK to ask for help.

Keeping it in perspective. I’m really quite rich
It amazes me the things people get upset over. And when I say people, I’m including myself. “work is hard”, “my boss is mean”, “sally doesn’t like me”, “my boyfriend/girlfriend is being dumb”. Really? Really? Are we going to make a big deal about this? Perspective is something... Read more...

I got served! Now what?
While I haven’t seen the movie, “You got served” I’m pretty sure it’s different from the legal “serve” that I received today. This actually wasn’t completely unexpected. About a week ago I received a call from a process server (I was at a BBQ) when she was at my apartment. A week... Read more...
