A friend of mine once said “I’ve worked hard enough, I deserve to make more money”. It struck me as a strange statement, because up until that moment, I had sort of left the determination of what I’m worth up to others. I was raised to believe that you get what you deserve. It was [...]

My daughter just went to her first Girl Scout sleepover camp. As I drove her up to camp last week, the song I learned many years ago when I was a Girl Scout myself came ringing back in my head: Make new friends, but keep the old, some are silver and the other gold. It [...]

Work can be challenging, exciting, fun, and sometimes…. boring. Lately, I’ve realized that there are different types of boring.

That’s Steve Job’s take on life in this inspirational speech to a Stanford University graduating class. I like those words, because I do believe that only by taking risks and striving for that which is just out of reach can you find out what you are capable of.
