An Open Letter to A**holes

To you – yes you – who may not realize you are an asshole, I see you walking in the middle of the street, hallway or walkway looking at your phone, side by side with another human, blocking the space the rest of us must occupy to pass you by. You raise your gaze long […]

What Goes Around Comes Around

Smile, and the world will grin, Bare it all and walk in nature, Live not only for the day, Live for what the future holds, Open your heart to the endless possibilities.

80 Days With Zach!

I always jump into things from the deep end. I do well at first but the moment I start treading water, I panic. When you are fostering an introverted dog you need nerves of steel and precision movement. For Zach, I was willing to become the perfect adoptive parent. Boy was I in for a […]

Justice Sotomayor is of Puerto Rican blood, a country that has lived under US rule for over a century.

No Need To Apologize, Friend

Throughout my career, I have taken many leadership and brand development courses. Upon further observation, I have noticed that all these seminars have one thing in common: They ask people to stop apologizing! Saying sorry for the sake of being polite is not only wasteful but unnecessary. Why? It can work against you by making […]

How To Soundproof Your Home: New Dog Owner 101

My puppy Zach has been jumping up on the window ledge and barking at everything he sees. Because this is his job, to scare possible intruders away, it is my guilty pleasure to indulge him. He wasn’t getting hurt nor hoarse which are the primary tell tale signs he is excessively barking. However, based on […]
