Japan has fascinated me since I was a child. My grandparents made a trip over to Tokyo in the 1970s and for years, they talked about it to everyone. That’s what people did back then. Or at least where I grew up. They would go on one trip to a “foreign” land and come home with [...]
Reading Jane Eyre marks one of my most bittersweet journeys into a novel and into a character’s life and psyche. I read Charlotte Brontë‘s masterpiece of accomplishment for an unusual reason.

I still remember the short and fidgety instructor we had that day. He was there to teach the 1-day course for discovering your strengths, based on philosophies and ideas on Buckingham and Clifton’s book, “Now, Discover Your Strengths“. I went to the very front and took my seat. If I am here, I want to [...]
I was in my Toastmasters meeting in the Piano conference room on a beautiful Wednesday morning in 2003 when I first heard about Lance Armstrong. Megan was up for giving her speech about courage and inspiration. A strong and determined woman. I was not the only one moved beyond words by her speech – her [...]
