Strawberries fill my dreams

I am the kind of person that has lavish, adventurous and engaging dreams. I am also the kind of person who wakes up recalling most of every detail. I also dream in colour.
There is however, one dream that I cannot seem to wake up from. I am also hoping that it IS a dream and [...]

Stefan Marquard at the HP Event in Frankfurt.

Edelman Munich put on a great event for HP Europe (Germany) at the Genuss Akademie, here in Frankfurt.
Martina Pennekamp, Tanja Schürmann and the team at Edelman really did a great job with the venue, the logistics and in getting Stefan Marquard as the host Chef for the evening.
The entire event was done very professionally and [...]

Thank you Michael Jackson.

Watching Michael Jackson’s Memorial at the Staples Center in California. I wish I had a television but thank goodness for livestreaming onto the internet.
I was amazed at how the entire memorial event was conducted in a very orderly, serene and respectful way. The fans were really well behaved. I was afraid people would rush at [...]

How true those words are now.
After leaving the nursing profession in 2007, in what may seem like an impulsive act to many (little did they know that I had been waiting for the opportunity to spread my wings), the reality of “free” is not what I had envisioned.
Being “free” is a very powerful state of [...]

Constant Transition

…. that’s how I feel ..  or have been feeling since I left Toronto in ‘96.
I’d like to think that my leaving beloved Toronto was simply a call of destiny and that the 11 years spent in Texas was of course, part of the entire spiritual process. Indeed, the 11 years of nursing had a [...]

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson

Today is unlike any other day the world can ever imagine. What make’s one person’s life that much more important only after he dies – I will never know.
What I do know is how he lived. The joy, the creativity, the love, the humanity and the giving that came from one individual who had been [...]

GamePlaces 2009

I can’t believe I’m attending the GamePlaces conferences for a second year in a row. It seems as if I’ve been calculating my time spent living in Frankfurt with annual events that I’ve been attending.
This year, I stayed from beginning to end and met a lot of great people.
Thanks to my t-mobile web n’ walk [...]

A chance to Exist ...

I honestly can’t believe January came and went. An unbelievable amount of things happened both personal and career wise and if I weren’t the great multi-tasker that I am, I wouldn’t know how my brain could’ve possibly processed all that happened last month.

I finally e-signed the Exist Global contract just last week Wednesday. I was getting worried after not having heard from Winston in over a week. One never knows how things are these days. Change takes place in a matter of a thought in the decision making process and I hoped with all my heart that Winston didn’t change his mind. He didn’t.

I’ve decided to devote a good deal of my spare time (as if I really have any) to immersing myself in the German Startup scene. I’m curious to know:
1. What startups are out there?
2. What types of platforms are Germans developing their startups on?
3. How are they integrating Web 2.0 and Social Media
4. How many [...]

I’ve managed thus far to get my “mojo” back. A semblance of what I use to be and of what I know I can do given the resources.
Founding and hosting the 1st Frankfurt Girl Geek Dinner was a challenge I wanted to take and succeed in – publicly. This was important to me. This was [...]

Well it was not that impossible. As a matter of fact, I had been waiting for the opportunity when I could install Joomla on my own site. I ran into a glitch in the beginning unsure of how to upload the Joomla files onto the hosting sites server. I was able to access the cPanel [...]

Granted that technology and new technology always have profound impacts on people, society, the world – whatever the current New Media hype is, it’ll only be Old Media in another decade or so.
There’ll be a handful of early adopters ranting and raving about the new New Media. There’ll be people trying to creatively find ways [...]

It’s been 2 days since the 1st Frankfurt Girl Geek Dinner took place. I’m still tired and still sick. I’ve been ill with a cold for almost 2 weeks now and it was rough trying to keep up with my English classes since I really wanted to devote more time to the event.
Call it my [...]

Frankfurt Girl Geek Dinners No. 1

I did it. That first Frankfurt Girl Geek Dinners was a success.
Some people said they’d be surprised if we only got 15 people. Well, we doubled that!
We didn’t find a sponsor but no one seemed to mind paying for their own meal. It was hell trying to gather the essentials (banner, center pieces). To me, [...]
