Two hours ago, I was in a small jam-packed London theater, joining in on a much-deserved standing ovation to the cast of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Some of the finest Shakespearean actors, most notably Ralph Fiennes, indulged us tonight with an unforgettably moving performance. Pleasure, sadness, delight and joy, smiles and tears, deep reflection and thrilling [...]

The most wonderful relationships can run their course; the greatest love affairs can go sour; the sweetest friendships can meet a bitter end and even the most invincible people may leave each other through death or divorce but I never saw a day that I would fall out of love with a company that was [...]
If you are on a Smart Phone, click here to see the video. What many have said to me over the years: “I wish I could travel like you.” “You are so lucky to travel so much.” “There is no way I can travel with my children.” “Go on all your travels before you have [...]
If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign? ~ Albert Einstein. They say that geniuses do their best work amidst chaos and commotion. They say there is nothing orderly about prodigy minds and serious thinkers. I tend to believe it. I mean, have you seen the [...]

The incredible response to my last post has seriously thrown off my focus and made it nearly impossible to move on. I have written and re-written several drafts of fresh new posts – highlights from travels to Switzerland and Berlin, visits to authentic tea shops and seeing the breath-taking 3000-year old Nefertiti bust – only [...]
The day that I stop improving upon the self is the day that I stop living. My problem has never been the lack of motivation in improving myself. I find myself drawn to self-improvement as bees to flowers or water to shore. No, my problem is bigger. It is the ever-present overwhelming feeling of just [...]
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet. Much as I love Shakespeare, this timeless prose does not hold up when it comes to marketing, branding, business and website naming. The right name can make all the difference to your clientele, your traffic and ultimately [...]
