Good news to share with you. I’m now a contributing writer for Washington, DC’s popular blog, Pamela’s Punch, and its soon-to-launch sister site, Pacific Punch. My first assignment was to interview the co-founder of Sprinkles, a popular cupcake bakery that first opened in Los Angeles. My interviewee: Candace Nelson, a.k.a. queen of cupcakes. Admittedly, I […]
Volunteering brings me great joy. It was always part of my master plan in LA. Not only is it a good way to meet people, but more importantly, giving back/helping people will enrich and expand your life. I’m not new to volunteering — I’ve done it throughout my life. An experience that I regularly think […]
I got a story for you. Most of us have done it…….mistake someone for someone else. I have done it a couple times in my life. Well, I recently did it again AND in an outrageous way. I was at BRICK CrossFit in West Hollywood taking my first class. If you haven’t done it yet, […]
”There is a fine line between dreams and reality, it’s up to you to draw it.” ~B. Quilliam
I recently wrote a post about how I get through challenging times. (The last few months have been a bitch, to say the least.)

This quote came from my boyfriend, Michael. I’m not sure the origin of this quote but it spoke to me. I held onto a couple things from my past too long. I’m happy to report this is no longer the case. I’m a better and stronger person from these experiences. “We must let go to live on!”
I recently came across an interesting guy, Mark Suster, an entrepreneur turned VC after selling his second company to Salesforce.com. Mark published a post (titled Life is 10% How You Make It 90% How you Take It) that really spoke to me. In fact, I used it for this week’s Monday’s quote. This is an excerpt from […]
Entrepreneur turned venture capitalist Mark Suster says this is one of his favorite quotes: “10% how you make it and 90% how you take it.* It’s not a recommendation that you don’t have to put in effort to make your life better. It’s an acknowledgement that whatever the outcomes in your life you can choose […]
I want to be as frank as possible with you. This journey I am on is an emotional rollercoaster. I have either really high highs or low lows. I can’t seem to find middle ground. I make progress in one area but then something happens that knocks me down. I take one step forward, then […]
Today’s quote comes from a great website I recent found and turn to regularly. Gretchen Rubin is the best-selling writer whose book, The Happiness Project, is the account of the year she spent test-driving studies and theories about how to be happier. I haven’t read the book yet but it’s on my list. “Man needs, for his […]
