This was a jam-packed week. Attending a Punch Brothers concert, getting together with friends, meeting deadlines and managing difficult situations at work, personal appointments, and taking care of things on the home-front while Mark was out of town were all on the agenda. This is no different schedule than many of you manage, and there […]
Aesthetics have become much more important to me in the last few years. I think that I started to get those juices going when I began to think about remodeling the kitchen.

Mindfulness and gratitude walk hand in hand. The first allows being present to the full extent of an experience, and the latter promotes contemplation and connection with it. This week, I attended a team off-site meeting with my colleagues to reflect, rejuvenate, learn, and to have some fun together. It was the culmination of a […]
