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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
…. 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 have managed thus far to get my “mojo” back. Some 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 needed to succeed in – publicly. It was something [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
I wouldn’t call it “love” and dare I even call it a ‘relationship’. Given that scenario, then, what WOULD you call it?
I’d call it definitely ‘complimentary’. She fills my needs as much as I fill her need to be used and exploited. And exploited is definitely what I do however, I feel as if I [...]
In the last days of May, I lost the woman in me. It it now June 1st, a few hours past and I am wondering if I’ll get her back again.
Getting back into the groove again ever so slowly. Slowly but surely, I’ll make it. I must remember not to loose myself in the face of all adversity. I am not alone. I am where I need to be and every challenge that I perceive as difficult simply becomes an opportunity for learning, for growth [...]
7 more days and it’ll mark a whole YEAR that I’ve been here in Frankfurt, Germany. I survived!!! Hmmm.. technically, I still have 7 more days to survive.
Come back after May 8 to see if I’m really still around.
I can’t even remember when I last posted here. It seems as if my multitasking skills have eluded me.
I’ve been settling into the Business English Language Trainer role pretty well. I like it a lot. It’s challenging in the aspect of being able to answer questions about grammar, word usage, culture as well as preparing [...]
