"I've got feelings for you."
At some point, this expression became exclusive to fuzzy wuzzy romantic feelings and all the other feelings got relegated to the back of the line.
I mean, why can’t I tell the woman on the train who wreaks that I have feelings for her?
Or my friend who brought me chicken soup when I was sick?
Or the venture capitalist who told me my idea won’t amount to anything?
‘Cause I...

As a child, if my mother ever used a word or referenced a person or event that I was unfamiliar with, I’d always ask, “What does that mean?”
“Go look it up,” she’d say.
“Oh, just tell me.”
“No. Go look it up.”
I would then head into my older brother’s bedroom where an unabridged dictionary and full Encyclopedia...

90s dance music
It starts with Rhythm Is A Dancer.
Then, it’s Pump Up The Jam.
Suddenly, it’s Mr. Vain, The Sign, C’mon Ride The Train, and Baby Baby.
Now I’m dancing around my office like a 12 year old at a roller rink.
Listening to 90s dance music is a slippery slope.
Be careful, kids.
(Boom Boom Boom, now let me here you say ‘way-o.’)

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By NYC
Sometimes life provides us with cinematic moments that seem too good to be unscripted. They happen unexpectedly and are often short-lived. It is in these moments that we discover love, opportunity or simply revel in some kind of swift internalized euphoria.
Right now, I’m experiencing one of those moments.
I’m on a plane descending toward my home, New York City. On my iPod:...

On gratitude
Gratitude is a lens through which I watch the world,
a filter for every experience,
the mental gravity that keeps me grounded,
my inspiration to persevere, to celebrate and to love,
the catalyst for my confidence,
the spring in my step,
and the depth of my smile.
I am happy, for I am grateful.
And I am grateful, for I am free.
