Decided to try out a new video segment. Not sure what I'll make of it...doing it for more therapeutic reasons than anything else.

I've been very blessed when it comes to working in corporate America. In the 10 years since I graduated from college, I've held incredibly valuable positions at Citibank, Google and Coty- the middle company, of course, being the bestest job I've ever had. Until now...
This week, I started a new journey as the Director of Client Services for a digital advertising agency here in New York. It's a huge accomplishment and ordeal for two reasons: 1) For the ...
A few weeks ago my friend, Bernie, sent me article, written in The Advocate, entitled, The New 60. In it, writer, Robert Levithan, talks about an exercise he recently learned:
"Go three years into the future and describe, in present tense, your life as you want it to be. Really go for it- within the realm of possibility: If I say I am playing short stop for the Yankees, it ain't gonna happen, but if I say I have a book on The New York Times best-seller ...
For years I've had a type of love-hate relationship with my life...most specifically my goals and dreams. I have so many things that I want to do and accomplish, and sometimes I feel like it's either too late to make some of them happen, that I don't have what it takes to make them happen, or that I'm just not in the right place to make them happen. Fortunately for me, feelings aren't an accurate representation of what actually is, nor are they in charge ...
This has been a great week! The past few weeks, really, have been well above average. For the first time in a long time, I feel emphatically content and happy with the life that I am leading and the direction in which I'm heading. I've got my job, my health, my friends and family; and there are little pieces of promise and opportunity fluttering all around me that I'm eagerly collecting and placing in my "to-do" bag of purpose and legacy.
Within all ...
On Friday, my friend Music Junkie came over to make rice krispy treats and hang out. As we chilled and chatted- bouncing around the apartment to the tunes coming from his Macbook- this question came up. It's one that had us a bit perplexed. Not daunting or depressingly so, but more in a "Hmm...that's interesting. When the fuck did that happen?" kinda way.
While I may resemble this characteristic more than he does, Music Junkie and I are "oreos." ...
It's moments like these that bring tears of accomplishment to my eyes. As minimal a success as it may seem to anyone reading this (is anyone reading this??), I have over-delivered on my Design Template Challenge; and as a result...Voila...I give you my new blog template!
Courtesy of Themeforest and my good friend, Husani, I now have a new, sleek design that I am incandescently happy and in love with. It's exactly what I was looking for- something ...
Do the work, and the excitement will come!
Last week was one of the most productive and enjoyable weeks I've had in a really long time. It was one of those weeks where I found myself singing, "Oh, what a beautiful morning" as I skipped out the door heading to work each day. Everything was going my way!
At the start of this week, however, my song had turned into a quiet hum; and my skip, a lazy gangsta lean. "What happened...where'd it all go," I ...
Have you ever had one of those awesomely great and productive weeks that led you to raise your head to the heavens as ask, "God, what are you up to?" Yah...I'm all up in that space this week. I'm certain that God is right at work in me and my life; and He's about to show up and SHOW OUT!
It all started last Tuesday. I went to my weekly prayer meeting, Touch and Agree, in a rather solemn mood. I felt as though my life was at a stand-still. Sure, there ...
I awoke to the sound of rain this morning. As I looked, from my bed, out of the window, my first thought was, "aww fuck, it's raining. I got shit to do!" Then a voice within me---in the manner of my very own British manservant-- replied, "Not to fret, young William. Today, is Sunday." A sigh releasing from my lips, I plopped myself back onto the mattress and exclaimed, "Oh, Jeeves! SUNDAY!" All was beautiful and perfect in the world, once again.
As per ...
