Are Weddings No Longer Relevant?

By now, many of my blog followers know my beef with weddings, and with the post The Wedding: Take Two – The Ceremony and The Reception, so this title shouldn’t come as a surprise but, hear me out. With a population that is becoming less religious and that is leaving the nest to shack up long […]

Life’s Too Short To Not Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Yay*, Sad or Angry

A lot of registered users scroll through social media without ever giving any indication that they walk the halls of the world wide web. They look but they don’t engage as they scroll past photos and musings. Casually, I’ve had conversations about content I have posted on Facebook or Instagram but very few times have […]

5 Ways You Can Help Women Lean In

Lean In, the book by Sheryl Sandberg, has become a phenomena of its own. Controversial at times, the women led initiative aims to empower women to demand equal rights to work and compensation; to think outside the box to aspire to become their own boss, the masters of their own entrepreneurial destiny. The movement has […]

The Terrorists Won

Caucasian. Black. Latino. Christian. Muslim. Liberal. Supremacist. Illegal. Immigrant. Homegrown. Male. Female. LGBT. Regardless of ethnicity, creed, nationality or sexual preference, the terrorists have won. We won’t take their assault weapons guns away because “every citizen that wants one has to be vetted via background check at the Federal and State level”. Not very reassuring […]

Being Stood Up

I was the product of an affair, of a relationship that no one ever thought would last long. For as long as I can remember, people would tell me how I should have never been born a contradiction that always amazed me since most of my family is Roman Catholic. In school, I would overhear […]

Leia’s Selective Force Sensitivity: Boon or Bad Writing?

Leia’s force sensitivity was pivotal to the development of the plot lines and lore of the now disavowed Expanded Universe. She was just as strong in the force as Luke (as you’d suspect these twins would be because of their distinct bond and infamous father), and her skills as a politician and negotiator were enhanced […]

“Children. I work with children” – Wonder Woman, Justice League

Wonder Woman’s success changed the big screen narrative pushing the superhero needle in the right direction. The movie’s record breaking box office popularity forced DC to make Diana the strongest leader the Justice League has ever seen. She is proof that the future is women.

Leading from Behind

I’ve heard this term a lot recently, especially in business settings, because there is a need to let employees innovate and take charge of their own destinies while keeping in mind the bottom line. When you think about it, revolutions start behind closed doors, after many dissenting voices get organized from the back of the […]

En la unión está la fuerza

Querido Presidente Trump, No se si todo éste tweeteo es para los Rusos, los Árabes o los inversionistas Chinos pues no hace sentido pensar que el pueblo comparte su opinión en cuanto a Puerto Rico y la ayuda para el Huracán María.

Game of Love?

Let’s face it, with book 6 deeply frozen in the mind and musings of George R. R. Martin, there is nothing to go on but J = L + R. The problem though is not that HBO had to bring Ice and Fire together, twice (Jon and Dany count as well), but you had to […]
