I am thankful. Today and every day. I’m thankful for the obvious and important things…my family, my friends, my pets, my health, my career.

Perspective – how important, yet forgotten. As humans, we are often self-absorbed and obsessed. We’re obsessed with our own issues, our own feelings, our own concerns, our own thoughts and dreams.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve visited 39 countries. It started with a 4 month adventure with Semester at Sea, circumnavigating the globe by ship and visiting 10 countries.

In 2010, I began writing for YoungEntrepreneur.com, publishing an article per month for the next 1.5 years. I could barely call myself an entrepreneur at the time, but I had dreams. 7+ years later and I’m excited to share that I’m now a business owner of Promise Consulting Group, LLC and a writer for Entrepreneur Media. My […]

When you think of the things that you pride yourself most on – what comes to mind? For me, it’s empathy – being kind and compassionate – and tenacity. What does it mean to be tenacious? Some people may say stubborn, others say persistent. I tend to agree with the latter. The dictionary definitions include […]
Life is full of choices. Some are easy and others are hard. Some you never need to think of again and others have effects that last for a lifetime. I made a career choice two months ago, an unexpected choice, that I was not certain of but went in with best intentions and felt it […]
