If I look deep within the innermost of my soul, deep into the darkest deepest crevasses of my heart, I’m scared. I’m scared of relationships. I’m scared of commitment I suppose. I’m scared that I will fail the person I have come to love deeply. I’m scared that I will fall short. That I won’t…
With my sixth marathon in the books (all in the last 12 months), I thought I’d start offering a quick recap of the races. I’ll start with the one I just finished and if I make the time, will go back and try to provide recaps of the first five marathons. I often get asked…
“It will only take a minute,” she remarked before offering a litany of reasons why she should go, why she could go. Why it would be okay to go. We stood together in one of several patient rooms inside the ICU, tucked into the interior burrow of the hospital. The lack of an outside window…
Each year, I develop a presentation that examines trends to watch at CES. I presented an early draft of that presentation this week in Prague. I’ll update this presentation as I develop it further.

“Have you been here before?” the clerk asked. For a moment I was frozen in time. I stared blankly back at him. While my eyes fell upon his face, my mind’s eye carried through him and morphed into a target-less gaze. He was in his 50s and the vantage of my height over his allowed…
I’m in the process of hiring a life/executive coach to work with over the next year. I’ve been interviewing coaches over the last few weeks to ascertain fit, approach and style. One of the coaches I interviewed last week made a fascinating (to me) observation as we chatted: I talk to think while others think…
Last Thursday would have been my 15th wedding anniversary (15 years!!!). I love seeing others acknowledge and celebrate their anniversaries on Facebook and share photos from that special day (we were all babies!!!).
