It happened again, like deja vu…    It would be a vast understatement for me to say that I have been "going through some things…" But, it is what it is, I take it all as joy. But as I reflect on the past year or so, I find that I have not allowed many people to get to know me. The real me. The vulnerable me. The nerd me. The goofy me. The sensitive and emotionally needy me. Why do we have this tendency to hide our truest self from the world. When we are Called to show the world our truest self. Knowing that now, I wont stay in a place where no one knows me. I am inviting you, asking you to get a little closer. I will be more conscious of the images that I, they way you get to see me and my life.  As to not contribute to us comparing ourselves to an irrelevant standard of perfection. I am just looking for effort and grace. I must say it, as hard as it is to say it - I am glad I have had my tender heart broken I am joyous that I have learned to take the tough sit

Thomas Friedman states in his book ( The World Is Flat ) that: PQ + CQ > IQ The above E-MC 2 "like" equation simply states, Passion Quotient (PQ) + Curiosity Quotient (CQ) is greater than the Intelligence Quotient (IQ).

Something amazing, and almost magical, happens when people have curiosity and passion.  The recent publication in the Harvard Business Review has a fantastic segment on Curiosity ( Click Here ). The business benefits are quiet clear: Fewer decision making errors More innovation and positive changes Reduced group conflict More open communication and

Hey Y’all! It’s been a while! Not necessarily a great while, but a while none the less. The past few months have truly been a trial and a test for me in many ways. I find it truly ironic, and maybe even a bit humorous - many of us ask to be these strong people, with a sense of understanding, and a clarity in wisdom. However, we sometimes fail to see how that sort of true-life learning is attained. Through thos e very situations that call for strength , understanding , and wisdom  - we often call pain.  In order for us to grow in  strength ,  understanding , and  wisdom  – we have to accept our imperfect nature. Moreover, accept that as we have grown in life we have acquired habits. Some of our habits been served us very well, and some have held us back from reaching our fullest potential. When we are in the midst of the strongest storms, only then are we really capable of seeing the flaws and habits that will no longer serve us well as we move into the next phase of o
